What is the different between XML and HTML?

HTML is a language used to build web pages. XML is a set of standards used to create other languages.

HTML is a markup language defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and primarily used to code web-pages. HTML gives a group of pre-defined tags, like <BODY> and <A> and <LINK> that have well-defined uses and generally accepted default styles in modern browsers.

XML isn't a language at all. Rather, it's a particular syntax for setting up a language. It creates that idea of an element, and give those elements content and attributes. XML allows a programmer to create a language that is defined to specifically suit her needs. This is done one of several ways, but the most popular are by creating a Document Type Definition or an XML Schema. These documents define the behavior of the language itself.

HTML and XML are combined in the ubiquitous XHTML 1.0 and 1.1 specifications from the W3C. XHTML is being supplanted by HTML 5. HTML 5, by default, isn't an XML based language, but you can use XML-style code by changing the MIME type to application/html+xml.

A second version of XHTML was in the works at the W3C, but work stopped in December of 2010.
