How Can You Use XML?

Few Applications of XML

Although there are countless applications that use XML, here are a few examples of the applications that are making use of this technology.

Refined search results - With XML-specific tags, search engines can give users more refined search results. A search engine seeks the term in the tags, rather than the entire document, giving the user more precise results.

EDI Transactions - XML has made electronic data interchange (EDI) transactions accessible to a broader set of users. XML allows data to be exchanged, regardless of the computing systems or accounting applications being used.

Cell Phones - XML data is sent to some cell phones, which is then formatted by the specification of the cell phone software designer to display text, images and even play sounds!
File Converters - Many applications have been written to convert existing documents into the XML standard. An example is a PDF to XML converter.

VoiceXML - Converts XML documents into an audio format so that a user can listen to an XML document.
