What is XML/XSD?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language designed for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is commonly used for data transport and storage, configuration files, and document formats. XSD (XML Schema Definition) is a schema language used to describe and validate the structure and content of XML documents. It defines the elements, attributes, and data types that are allowed in an XML document, ensuring data integrity and consistency. XSD is often used to validate XML data before it is processed by an application.
