How is XML defined?

Jared,

As HTML structures the format or layout of a web page, XML structures data.
XML has some pretty powerful features as you get more advanced but I suggest
as a beginner checking out this site here. It is perfect for starting out
and getting the basics down.

as you get more advanced you can refer to the XML information at
www.dev-archive.com
or the myriad of other sites out there.
