You likely already know this, but for the sake of those reading: XML itself is still alive and well, what's retired is the "Apache XML Project," a collection of XML-related software.
- jamestimmins 6y agoOh I actually didn't realize that. I thought it meant that XML itself was deprecated, but just still in use. Thanks for clarifying.
- regularfry 6y agoIt's even less momentous than that: "Apache XML Project" was a banner under which several different tools lived. Some of those tools have gone on to have their own lives and live on elsewhere.
- patmorgan23 6y agoXML is a standard like HTML.
- tannhaeuser 6y agoActually, according to the linked project page [1] only the "umbrella" XML project had been decomissioned; the only actual subpackages retired are axkit and xindice (never really used or even heard of those). Xerces, which as Xerces/J is a major part of Java's XML stack, and all the other subprojects have just migrated into standalone projects, including even XMLBeans which was resurrected on request of Apache's POI project for reading/creating MS Office files.
