It uses a hierarchical tree structure with custom-defined tags, supports schemas such as DTD and XML Schema for validation, enables namespaces to avoid naming conflicts, and is widely used in formats and protocols such as RSS, SOAP, and configuration files.

According to our data, XML is detected on 0.3% of all websites.
