What is XML, XSL?

What is XML?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is all about describing data. An XML tag is not something predefined but it is something you have to define according to your needs.

The XML document is self explanatory, any one can easily understand looking at the XML data what exactly it means.
XML is case sensitive

What is XSL?

XSL (Extensible Style sheet Language) is used to transform XML document to some other document. For example you can apply XSL to XML and convert it to HTML document or CSV.

I tried to define XML and XSL in this article, just a simple definitions. There are various ways to XSLT transform like in .net you will find asp:xml control in which you can define the Transform Source(XSLT file name) and the control will give you the required output after transforming.
I would recommend users to read articles on XSLT transformation here to clear the basics clear for transforming.
