How to open .xml extension file?

Hey Spencer Reynoso!

.XML file stands for Extensible Markup Language (XML). Normally .XML file can be open in default program. For example, double click on .XML and let the file decide which software is better for it to open. If it doesn’t open by whichever software, just right click on it and choose “open with” and select your internet browser. If you want to edit .XML file, then you can use software like Notepad++ or dremviewer. Basically to store and to transport the data, XML is used. If you know more about you can visit the link below.

How to open .xml extension file?

 

XML are encoded data files in a format that is both computer and human readable. The best approach will be to use default windows application and let the OS decide itself which application to run.

·         These files can also be opened using spreadsheet loader software. You can use Microsoft Excel 2007 or later version to open, edit or modify such files.

·         You can also use conversion techniques. Open the file using some default program and then choose some other format to save as.

How to open .xml extension file?

An XML file (.xml) is a plain text file. You can open it with Notepad and other text editing software and even Microsoft Office Word. XML refers to Extensible Markup Language. A markup language is used to add additional information or simply to annotate text. The annotations are not actually shown to the user or end-user but are required by the computer to read and then process the text properly.

Another example of a markup language is HTML or the HyperText Markup Language. This kind of markup language is used by websites. XML is a newer language similar to HTML but unlike HTML, XML allows for more flexibility. One example of the uses of XML is in the installation of programs.

When you install a program, the install wizard uses an XML file to process the sequences of installation procedures. One example is the Windows Media Player 11 installer. This setup file contains an XML file called “control.xml”. This file lists the sequences of the installation process.
