Where to Learn More

XML is poised to become a major player on the Internet. Companies are excited by the technology and have invested large amounts of time and money in its development.

Some companies have already released XML tools you can download for free over the Internet. A variety of applications exist, ranging from simple XML syntax checkers (programs that make sure your XML documents conform to XML specifications) to XML-to-HTML converters.
