XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is.
HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how data looks.

This is the Simple difference ...

HTML is the lingua franca for publishing hypertext on the World
Wide Web. It is a non-proprietary format based upon SGML, and can be created
and processed by a wide range of tools, from simple plain text editors - you
type it in from scratch- to sophisticated WYSIWYG authoring tools. HTML
uses tags such as

and

to
structure text into headings, paragraphs, lists, hypertext links etc.
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879). Originally designed to meet the challenges of large-scale electronic publishing, XML is also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web and elsewhere.

Usability, HTML as you probably know is the Hyper Text Mark up Language for web use and XML is the more advanced eXtensible mark up language. XML is more flexible, and works better with CSS ,PHP, My Sql and JAVA script, plus a host of other web tools.

HTML is markup designed specifically for parsing by a web browser. There are pre-defined tags, grammars, etc. XML allows the programmer to define his or her own markup tags for whatever type of data they are storing. It started as a way to transfer data between heterogenous database systems, but has grown to impact many of today's newest technologies.

Languages based on XML (for example, Geography Markup Language (GML), RDF/XML, RSS, Atom, MathML, XHTML, SVG, and MusicXML) are defined in a formal way, allowing programs to modify and validate documents in these languages without prior knowledge of their form.
