Is XML necessary?

Question

Is it necessary to have knowledge of xml in order ro be a good web designer?? Or can anybody just skip it?

Answer 1

Ultimately, XML is a tool. It keeps your design work organized into practical compartments.

The easy nature of the language doesn't require massive amounts of knowledge or an alphabet behind your name. XML saves time and keeps the design flow organized.

Answer 2

WEB, need to create websites. Yes, this is the easiest language that you can learn and already earn money on creating websites

Answer 3

I think so yeah, XML is still common.

But there is really not much to learn because you already know HTML and XML is very very similar.
Should you ever need more advanced things like XSDs or XSLT you can just learn it as you need it.

Answer 4

The W3Schools website also has a tutorial on it.

Answer 14

I believe Json is preferred over xml for web development. However in a general sense, XML is still used for a variety of purposes. For example, ebook/audiobook metadata is imported/exported in ONIX which is an xml document standard for the publication industry.

Answer 15

it's a universally accepted standard and can transit through firewalls. it is strictly formatted.🤔

Answer 16

now a days people using JSON lot more than XML
