Advantages of XML and XML-related technologies:
- Open standards: defined by W3C, vendor-neutral
- Many existing programs, libraries and tools available, many
OpenSource
- Less chance of obvious errors (ambiguous syntax, lack of
internationalization)
XML only a tool. Software designers have to use it right.
