Ok, so i'm figuring out xml.  Pretty simple and straight forward. I have a couple conceptual questions though.

 

1) Is XML a more feature rich implementation of html (i mean what is xml really used for...)?

 

2) Namespace attributes.  Whats the deal with them?  I mean i understand the syntax and all... but doesn't having more then one root element make the xml invalid? I might just be confused.  I've been using the tizag.com tutorial.  here is the namespace tutorial i'm confused on.

 

Basically i'm just looking for a summary of what i can use XML for.

 

-thanks

You really ought to read up on the overviews of what the language does, and some of your questions may be answered:

XML

Namespaces

 

These pages should more than explain your questions, and you should also have a great idea of what it can be used for as well.

 

Hope this helps.
