Programming

An insight on XML programming
Computer programming, in general, refers to the process of writing, testing, troubleshooting, and maintaining the source code of a computer program that was coded using a programming language, such as Perl, Java, PHP, and C++. The programming process is particularly undertaken to create an efficient, reliable, robust, usable and portable computer program or software solution that exhibits a certain desired feature. On the other hand, in XML programming, the main goal is not to create a solution, but rather to make the development of a web-based solution simple, portable, cost-effective and of high quality. To put it simply, XML is just a tool in the development of an efficient program/solution.

The C Programming Language

Since the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) released a recommendation for XML in 1998, the application of XML in computer programming has gone mainstream. Everyday, the number of web developers and programmers incorporating the extensible language increases because of its programming advantages. One of these advantages is XML’s extensibility, which means that programmers can write their own mark-up language and define their own set of tags.
