XML (Extensible Markup Language), evolving as a universal standard for data exchange 
on the Web, gains significant interest of both academia and business. In this talk, 
I will briefly discuss the vulnerabilities of HTML and the motivation for proposing XML 
standard. Next, bits and pieces about XML syntax will be outlined. The evolution of XML 
will be discussed along the lines of several relevant standards (DOM, SAX, XPointer, XQL, 
XSLT) and domain-specific markup languages, such as SMIL, MathML, RDF, etc. Finally, 
an illustrative case-study will be presented to show how XML can be used for data exchange
in e-commerce applications.
