XML has become the almost universally supported way of exchanging documents and data across applications and platforms. Microsoft was a pioneer in XML development and takes pride in the quality, performance, and standards conformance of our XML technologies. We have a family of XML technologies that allows users with differing requirements to do what they need to do, as simply and efficiently as possible.
