Answer / harish
XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data
is.HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how
data looks. XML allows the author to define his own tags
and his own document structure. The tags used to markup
HTML documents and the structure of HTML documents are
predefined. The author or the HTML documents can only use
tags that are defined in the HTML standard.
