- PurpleRamen 2y agoXML is for data-exchange, competing with JSON and others. So I have no problem putting it to the data-documents, even though it's more a frankenstein. But HTML is an office-document, used for freetext, nobody really should use it for data, even though sometimes it's used that way.
- hgyjnbdet 2y agoXML is also used, literally, for office documents (Word, Excel, etc).
