The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The content consists of readable text data, which can be read using a text editor. A typical file size is 250 KB. This file type is based on cutting-edge technology. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. <!-- build, <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>, source-build, <workbook original-version='18.1' and source-platfo. Such files sometimes refer to dashboard, tableau, data, assignment, book, project, analysis and sales.
