[@michas4740]

Thank you for the videos! Now, I understand that XML is flexible and can be converted to another language. For someone who doesn't know a single clue about programming language, I'm confused what actually XML is for , and when to use it?. Is it actually similar usage to markdown (For writing notes like in Zettlr, Obsidian) but more complex? I learn about XML from reading docx is actually using XML. I don't know which part of it is XML.. the backend part?

[@RaghavPal]

Micha You're right, XML is indeed flexible and can be used in various ways, but it's not exactly a programming language itself. Here's a breakdown to clarify its purpose and usage: What is XML? - XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. It's a way to structure and store data in a human-readable and machine-readable format. - Think of it like a set of building blocks (tags) that you can use to define different parts of your information. - For example, in a recipe, you could use XML tags to describe the ingredients, instructions, and cooking time. Key things to remember about XML: - Data format, not a programming language: XML doesn't execute code or perform calculations like Python or JavaScript. It simply organizes data. - Flexible & customizable: You can define new tags to suit your specific needs, making it versatile for various applications. - Human & machine-readable: Both people and computers can understand the structure and content of the data due to its well-defined format. When to use XML: - Data exchange: It's often used to exchange data between different systems and applications due to its platform-neutral nature. - Configuration files: Many programs use XML to store configuration settings. - Content management: Websites and e-commerce platforms might leverage XML for structured content like product descriptions. - Document formats: Microsoft Office documents like docx, odt use XML internally to represent text, formatting, and other elements. Comparison with Markdown: - Markdown: Simpler, used for plain text formatting with limited structure (headings, lists, bold, etc.). More suitable for writing notes and basic documentation. - XML: More complex, defines custom tags for specific data elements, ideal for storing structured information for diverse purposes. In your docx example: - The actual text content (paragraphs, headings, etc.) might be stored as plain text within the XML structure. - The XML part defines the structure and formatting of the document, like which text is a heading, which is bold, and where images are placed. Summary: While XML might seem complex at first, it's essentially a way to organize information in a structured and flexible manner. It's not a programming language but a data format, used for many things beyond just document structures. Understanding its core purpose and potential applications can help you appreciate its value in various scenarios.

[@monicachambial2258]

Thank you. this is easy to understand. I wanted to know is there any way to define the xsd so that each child element has distinct values no repetition, in xml file?
