Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a text-based data format developed and maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for storing and transporting data. It is utilized for web services, configuration files, and cross-platform data exchange due to its hierarchical structure and readable syntax. Although generally considered safe, XML files can be vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks if processed by insecurely configured software; modern parsers typically disable these features to mitigate risks.
