Format Details
XML
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a flexible, human-readable markup language defined by the W3C for structuring, storing, and transporting data across different systems. Unlike HTML, XML uses custom-defined tags chosen by the author to describe the semantic meaning of data, making it self-documenting and extensible. XML underpins numerous data formats, web services (SOAP), configuration standards, and document formats including SVG, DOCX, and RSS.
JSON
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, human-readable data interchange format derived from JavaScript object literal syntax. It natively supports objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null, allowing it to represent arbitrarily nested data structures. JSON has become the universal standard for REST API responses, configuration files, and data interchange on the web, with native parsing support in virtually every programming language.
