Wrong with XML

What is wrong with XML? Illustrate your responses with examples.

# XML is the document containing structure information for developing upcoming web applications. There’s no any suspicion about XML performance in this arena. However, XML also has some problems which need to be inspected and improved. Such as, one of the major problems of XML is that, it does not have any satisfactory applications for processing.
  • There are no browsers yet to read XML, it needs an application processing system. XML still have to depend on HTML in order to read in a browser. Because of which, it has to be transformed to HTML before it is implemented.
  •  It does not have any specific platform; it has a neutral platform requirement which may be a problem in few circumstances. XML can be complex and also costly to setup. For instance, a freelancer can create, write and format a document using any of the software available sitting at his home with his own pace. However, with the XML, the entire course of action could get really complex to take the document further.
  •  XML is not especially good at managing huge amounts of data.
  • XML can be become complex to read there are number if information contained on one file.
  • XML develop lots of reliance on single factors which can let the program down for several times.
  •  XML syntax is redundant in comparison to the binary representations of similar data.
  • XML does not provide any specific notion of data type such as “string”, “integer”, etc.
  • XML namespaces are tricky and challenging to use and its support can be complicated to implement correctly in an XML parser.
  •  XML is generally describes as “self- documenting” but this delineation pay no attention to critical ambiguity.
