XML was created so largely
structured documents could be used over the web.There are two main types
of XML pages: the "standalone" and those that use a DTD. The standalone
is just what it says: the page stands alone relying on the browser to
have the XML DTD. In the XML language, the browser will be the XML processor.
The other type of page offers the DTD to the browser so it can run the
page. [2] Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple dialect of SGML. The
goal is to enable 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.[2]
