XML and WML both use the same markup / language. If you know XML, you know WML - and vice versa. However, XML is intentionally developed for computers, or other devices with larger screens. WML is developed for smaller-screened devices, such as PDA's and cell phones. Regardless, most devices, small or large screen'ed, now accept both formats of the XML language without complaining - but users may notice a difference in layout. On the technical side of things, WML standards branch off XML standards (which determine how things should be layed out on a screen or other display) - making the standards relatively different. WML is placed in WML-type documents ("file.wml"), as XML is placed in XML-type documents ("file.xml"). WML documents should have a Document Type Declaration pointing to an WML standard, as XML documents should have a Document Type Declaration pointing to an XML standard.

How do you write in WML?
WML is not a new language. Rather, it is only XML that is "geared to work" with cell phones, PDAs, and other portable / wireless devices. To make it "gear to work" this way, the following changes should be made in WML documents - and nothing else.---- WML is placed in WML-type documents ("file.wml"), instead of XML-type documents ("file.xml") WML documents should have a Document Type Declaration pointing to WML. The tag still must be declared, regardless if your writing WML or not!

Difference between java script and xml?
It would be harder to describe the similarity between JavaScript and XML. These two languages are for entirely different purposes.
What is wml scripting?
WML scripting is the act of scripting / coding / writing in the language of WML - which is just slightly adjusted XML that is made for mobile devices. WMLScript (Wireless Markup Language Script) is the client-side scripting language of WML (Wireless Markup Language). A scripting language is similar to a programming language, but is of lighter weight. With WMLScript, the wireless device can do some of the processing and computation. This reduces the number of requests and responses to/from the server.
What is the difference between a well formed XML document and a Valid XML document?
Well-formed XML means that the XML is correct (it has only one root node, and all elements match an end element tag)Valid XML means that the XML can be validated to an XML Schema or DTD, and that all the tags in the XML are also in the Schema or DTD, and in the right place.
What is difference between binary file and Excel file?
When referring to Excel 2007, there are two file types you can use when you save a file, XML and binary. If you save the file as binary, then there is no difference between the two. If you save the file as XML, then the XML file contains XML formatting data (explanation beyond the scope of this question) and the binary file is formatted for computers to read directly.

What is difference between XML and valid xml?
You can compare this with English usage. I can say to you, "Jeet yet?" and you would probably understand me to mean, "Did you eat yet?" One of these sentences is valid English, the other is questionable. In the same way you can write valid XML and you can write XML with numerous imperfections. Many XML language processors are capable of understanding both. However, it's safer to write valid XML.
What is difference between xml and properties file?
Properties file uses only name value pairs where as xml file uses hierarchical name value and the value can be defined by attributes too.
What are the difference between xml and sgml?
SGML had a variety of rules that made it difficult to parse correctly, and less legible than XML. XML was made to be more machine and human friendly. Both languages are otherwise remarkably similar, including DTDs and validation, as one would expect, since SGML was the ancestor of XML.
