The main difference between XML and HTML
XML is not a replacement for HTML.
XML and HTML were designed with different goals:
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.
HTML is about displaying information, XML is about describing information.

XML is the formal backend technology that HTML (the xHTML variant) is based on, XML's predecessor is what HTML truely based on. HTML is designed only as a predefined markup tags for describing and displaying Web pages while XML is defining tags for describing any structure information.
