- 3. Feature of XML 1.XML Separates Data from HTML if you need to display dynamic data in your HTML document, it will take a lot of work to edit the HTML each time the data changes. With XML, data can be stored in separate XML files. This way you can concentrate on using HTML/CSS for display and layout, and be sure that changes in the underlying data will not require any changes to the HTML. With a few lines of JavaScript code, you can read an external XML file and update the data content of your web page. 2XML Simplifies Data Sharing In the real world, computer systems and atabases contain data in incompatible formats.XML data is stored in plain text format. This provides a software and hardware-independent way of storing data. This makes it much easier to create data that can be shared by different applications.
