Answer 2

In some cases it is still highly used, a good example of this is Android.

Answer 3

I think we use JSON instead

Answer 4

I just know that HTML was based off of XML

Answer 5

Indeed. Developers realized that writing nested tags isn't as efficient as json.

XML:

<myValue>3.14</myValue>

JSON:

{
"myValue" : "3.14"
}
