        The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a subset of SGML that is completely described in this document. Its goal is to
        enable generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web in the way that is now possible with HTML. XML
        has been designed for ease of implementation and for interoperability with both SGML and HTML. For further information
