XML in Real Life
Some examples of how XML can be used to exchange information.
Example: XML News
XMLNews is a specification for exchanging news and
other information.
Using such a standard makes it easier for both news producers and
news consumers to produce, receive, and archive any kind of news information across different hardware, software, and programming languages.
An example XMLNews document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<nitf>
<head>
<title>Colombia Earthquake</title>
</head>
<body>
<headline>
<hl1>143 Dead in Colombia Earthquake</hl1>
</headline>
<byline>
<bytag>By Jared Kotler, Associated Press Writer</bytag>
