The contents of this file are written in Extensible Markup Language (XML). Data stored in such DXL file include database schemas, views, indices, forms, and designs. A different DXL file is a script written in DOORS Extension Language. It is used to automate processes in Rational Dynamic Object Oriented Requirement System (DOORS) requirements management application. Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT) saves a braille label in a DXL file.
