Where did XML come from?

XML was based off of the Standard Generalized Markup Language. It was built to fill the need for a strategic storage system that was easy to read and manipulate data with.

XML was first developed to make SGML usable for Web purposes. SGML is a very large and complicated norm (thousands of pages). XML is kind of a subset of SGML, but at the same time has more restrictive rules, so that parsers and Transformers working on XML are faster and more easy to implement.

How do you parse XML using JavaScript?

To manipulate an XML document in javascript, you need an XML parser. Today all browsers come with in-built parsers that can parse the XML document. The parser loads the document into your computer's memory. Once the document is loaded, its data can be manipulated using the DOM(Document Object Model). There is significant differences in implementation of Microsoft Browser based XML parser and the Mozilla browsers based XML parser.

Is XML an advanced version of HTML?

As a programmer, processing pure XML is easier that HTML. This is because XML follows a very strict set of standards. HTML (such as HTML 4 or 5) does not. For instance, all XML tags close, either by a closing pair, or a "self-closing" tag. e.g.: <tag></tag> Or <tag /> Whereas HTML tags such as line-break and image don't follow the same pattern. <img> <br> By adhere to stricter rules, XML is easier for me to parse.
