Why XML?
XML is
easy to understand;
non-proprietary plain-text:
human readable,
software independent,
hardware independent;
(relatively) easy to write a parser for;
represents hierarchical text structures very naturally (non-hierarchical not so naturally);
ubiquitous: very well supported with both commercial and open source software.
