How does xml differ from HTML and dynamic HTML?

Answer 1

1.xml is case sensetive but html is case insensetive.

2.xml preserve white space but html does not .

3.xml is about describing information but html is about displaying information.

4.xml is about carring information hence dynamic but html is about displaying data hence static.

Answer 2

XML is designed for introduce an easy-to-learn way to use SGMLs structure-defining power and to combine it with HTMLs popular features to describe easily text and graphics in the internet.

- HTML is a subset of SGML
- XML is a highly functional subset of SGML.
- XHTML extends and subsets HTML

Answer 3

The primary difference between HTML and XHTML is that XHTML follows the rules laid out by the Extensible Markup Language (XML.)

In XML, all elements have to close. Either the initial tag has a paired tag, or they follow a pattern called an "empty tag."

The HTML image element looks like this:

<img src="image.png" alt="Blah blah blah">

But this tag doesn't close, and so it's invalid in XML. Instead, the XHTML version looks like this.

<img src="image.png" alt="Blah blah blah" />

See the "/"?

XML also requires that all attribute values be quoted (where in the older HTMLs <font color=#334433></font> was valid, it isn't in XHTML.) Similarly, all attributes and tags have to be written in lowercase. (Old HTML was often done in all caps.)

XHTML is embraced by developers, but designers seemed to feel that it was more complicated for absolutely no reason.

Either way, the latest HTML incarnation, HTML 5, isn't XML based.

Answer 4

Both HTML and XML have their origins in an earlier markup language called SGML. Because of this, much of their appearance is similar. For instance, both are made up of tags, and those tags are defined in both using a <tag> format.

But HTML isn't as strictly structured as XML. All XML elements, for instance, must close. That means that an HTML5 image element that looks like this:

wouldn't be valid in XML.

There was a version of HTML that was XML compliant. In that version, tags like the image tag followed the "empty tag" pattern established in XML. This version, called XHTML was huge, and still runs a good portion of the internet, but is being supplanted by the non-compliant HTML5.

The major difference in XML and HTML is their purpose. HTML is a standardized set of tags used to create web pages, and deliver a similar experience with a standard set of elements no matter what page you're on, and no matter what browser you're using.

XML, on the other hand, is a "meta-language." It's intended to aid programmers in developing other languages. There is no "standard set" of XML elements. Instead, you can use XML to make a standard set of elements for your own use.

Answer 5

Both languages are created using tags but with XML you pretty much create your own and is only a form of data storage.

Answer 6

XML has no predefined elements and allows the creation of own markup

elements to meet the information needs.

Answer 7

XML is used to make a markup language. HTML is a markup language used to make webpages.

Answer 8

XML is also be be used as database along with markup. HTML is only defined for web designing.
