XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language, a specification developed by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) It is a framework of rules for creating custom markup languages. XML’s primary purpose is to facilitate the sharing of structured data across different information systems, particularly via the Internet and it is used both to encode documents and to serialize data. XML is becoming the new information management standard over the Internet.

XML Conversion is the process of converting data from a specific format into an XML format. This is achieved by using some of the rules specified by the XML language. Converting data into XML makes the data more presentable and user friendly. In the XML data conversion process, data is changed into XML making it highly reusable and also enabling a more efficient information delivery.
