Some specific uses for XML include the following:
 Use it to store data outside your HTML.
 Use it to store data inside HTML pages as “Data Islands”
 Use it to share and exchange data between incompatible systems.
 Use it as a data storage mechanism completely outside the HTML layer.
 Use it to make data available to run-time languages such as JavaScript or an object-oriented language such as Java, C#, or Basic/Visual Basic.
 Use it to make your data human-readable.
 Use it to invent new language or plug data into an existing language (a process called transformation).
