Jim Waldo talked about XML

October 25, 2005 in Tech/Biz

The best interpretation I can put on the popularity of XML is that it is easy to write a parser for whatever interpretation you want to use, and thus there is a simple way to craft a mechanism for passing information from one program to another. XML on this view is no different than the use of ascii (another syntax) in the early days of Unix. In those days, there was a thriving trade in tools that would take ascii streams in and shoot ascii streams out. The idea behind all of these tools was that the user of the system could string together a sequence of the tools, with each tool producing an ascii stream that the next tool would use as input. — What is XML?

因此，如果�是�独的谈论XML�说，XML是Nothing或是Everything(万物皆适于此)，毫无�力点�言。
