Like HTML (Hypertext Markup Language, XML is a markup language and a subset of SGML (Standardized General Markup Language). XML, however, is more complete and disciplined, and it allows you to define your own application-oriented markup tags. These properties make XML particularly suitable for data interchange.
You can generate XML-formatted documents from data stored in Adaptive Server and, conversely, store XML documents and data extracted from them in Adaptive Server. You can also use Adaptive Server to search XML documents stored on the Web.
XML is a markup language and subset of SGML, created to provide functionality beyond that of HTML for Web publishing and distributed document processing.
