Scripting

HTML:
Hyper Text Markup Language :HTML file generally contains two soft of information - 1. markup is a method of telling a web browser how to display a page. 2. content this is the information you actually want to display. HTML is very easy to learn. Please go to the link Here and Here to learn about HTML in detail.

XML:
Extensible Markup Language (XML) allows its users to define their own elements. XML and HTML both contains markup symbols and contents. But XML describes the content in terms of what data is being described. XML uses tag to describe the data. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the sharing of structured data across different information systems.
XML document is a collection of data. In other words it does’t make much difference between the other files that store data. A XML in a database format is a self describing, portable, and can describe data in tree or graph structure. XML is a sort of Database Management System (DBMS).
(....more about XML from testing perspective on qa-advance. I will talk about XML from Web technology perspectives, XML validation and more . But later )
