XML and HTML

Two formats of documents are the base of websites. HTML, a standard in version 4 for now and XML for web pages with XHTML, or various documents such as RSS or graphical interface languages as XAML or XUL.

But a new format is in development to replace both HTML 4 and XHTML: this is HTML 5 that is defined to build Web applications.
