$ XML: The Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) is a W3C-recommended general-purpose mark-up language for creating special-purpose mark-up languages.

Languages based on XML (for example, RDF, RSS, !MathML, XHTML, SVG, and cXML) are defined in a formal way, allowing programs to modify and validate documents in these languages without prior knowledge of their form.
