Web technologies

What is the difference between HTML and XML?

HTML is the markup language for web documents, with element meanings defined by the standard. XML defines rules for extensible data formats whose element vocabulary is set by an application or domain.

DECISION BEFORE TECHNOLOGY

What this means for a real project

Their processing models and rules differ. HTML is currently maintained as a Living Standard; HTML5 remains a familiar name, but development did not stop at a fixed version. XML does not replace HTML, and HTML is not a universal data-exchange format.

In practice, the right answer depends on users, data, budget, administration and what must happen after the first action. We therefore assess the complete flow before recommending a technology or platform.

MP WEB STUDIO PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATION

What to pay attention to

  1. 01Must the content be presented as a web document?
  2. 02Is data exchanged between systems?
  3. 03Is validation against a schema or vocabulary required?

CONCLUSION

A good choice can be explained simply

A professional recommendation should explain the problem solved, the limitations, maintenance cost and how the solution can evolve. If the argument relies only on trends or a technology name, the analysis is not finished.
