XML (Extensible Markup Language)

This section provides information on Microsoft's support of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) -- the universal format for data on the Web. XML allows developers to easily describe and deliver rich, structured data from any application in a standard, consistent way. XML does not replace HTML; rather, it is a complementary format.

(Note that XML has its own newsgroup: microsoft.public.xml. You can use this newsgroup to get answers to your XML questions, learn what's new with XML, and find out what you can do using XML.)
