Answer / kapil
Html was designed to transfer your data in document format
over the internet but it can allow data retrieve in html
compatible application while xml was designed to store and
retrieve the data over multiple applications because it is

1.HTML was designed to display data with focus on how data looks while XML was designed to be a software and hardware independent tool used to transport and store data, with focus on what data is.
2.HTML is a markup language itself while XML provides a framework for defining markup languages.
3.HTML is a presentation language while XML is neither a programming language nor a presentation language.
4.HTML is case insensitive while XML is case sensitive.
5.HTML is used for designing a web-page to be rendered on the client side while XML is used basically to transport data between the application and the database.
6.HTML has it own predefined tags while what makes XML flexible is that custom tags can be defined and the tags are invented by the author of the XML document.
7.HTML is not strict if the user does not use the closing tags but XML makes it mandatory for the user the close each tag that has been used.
8.HTML does not preserve white space while XML does.
9.HTML is about displaying data,hence static but XML is about carrying information,hence dynamic.

Answer / sneha joshi
XML is not a replacement for HTML. XML and HTML were designed with different
goals:
• XML was designed to transport and store data, with focus on what data is.
• HTML was designed to display data, with focus on how data looks.
HTML is about displaying information, while XML is about carrying information.

Answer / satya
HTML pages are used to display what the content actually is.
It just displays the data(for example we write code in java
for a JSP page which is considered as a presentation
logic.There HTML forms are used.)
whreas XML stores the data and displays what the data is.It
also shares the data across different applications and
databases.
