Pros of XML(eXtensible Markup Lanaguage)
 It is platform and system independent i.e
it can work on any computer.
It allows us to define our own tags thus
making your data content more clear.The power of XML comes from the fact that the rules
specified by the tags need not be limited to formating rules.
It is easier to have different displays
for the same XML document using different style sheets as both XML document and style
sheets are separate .They are not written in the same document.
XML has adopted a standard, ISO 10646
also known as Unicode which is a framework to encode characters and it will support most
languages, thus not forcing people to use english for coding.
The code is easy to understand even for
those people who doesn't have any prior knowledge.
For example it is obvious from <firstname>Bill</firstname> that it is
representing a name i.e XML is self describing.
Cons of XML(eXtensible Markup Lanaguage)
One of the main disadvantage is the
time and expense required to convert the existing information to XML.
Only newer software will be able to read
and understand XML.
More difficult , demanding & precise
when compared with HTML.
Lack of browser support / end user
application.
XML is still experimental and not
solidfied.
