Answer / anshul
XML and HTML are different and they both have different
goals. They are designed for different purposes. Some people
think that xml is an advanced version of html and it has
come to replace html. It is not the case. Both will be there
as they are used for different purposes.

Answer / pratibha
XML files are meant to hold data and data in an xml file is
well described. If you look at an xml file you can say what
it holds. For example if you find a number in an xml file
you can find out easily what that number identifies, whether
it is the number of products, or the price of a product etc.
In html it is not the case.
HTML is used to display the data in a formatted way. You can
apply styles and use different layouts to display the data
in an html file. The data that is displayed in an html file
could come from an xml file.
So to say in simple words, html displays the data and xml
holds the data!
