XML Compariosn
	(N/A)	(N/A)	(N/A)	(N/A)	(N/A)
XML	N/A Extensible set of tags All elements must have an end tag.	N/A Content orientated All elements must be cleanly nested (overlapping elements are not allowed).	N/A Standard Data infrastructure All attribute values must be enclosed in quotation marks.	N/A Allows multiple output forms Each document must have a unique first element, the root node.	N/A An XML document may have an optional DTD.
HTML	N/A Fixed set of tags Single presentation No data validation capabilities	N/A Presentation oriented. The most used markup language in the world today.	N/A HTML allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms.	N/A Notion of URLs and the free distribution of browsers.	N/A The main markup language for displaying web pages and other information that can be displayed in a web browser.
XHTML	N/A All tags must be closed. XML markup languages that mirror or extend versions of the widely used HTML.	N/A All attribute values in tags must be quoted. It was defined as an application of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).	N/A All tag and attribute names must be lowercase in order to be valid. XHTML Web documents must be well-formed XML documents.	N/A XHTML was developed to make HTML more extensible and increase interoperability with other data formats.	N/A A reformulation of the three HTML 4 document types as applications of XML 1.0
CSS	N/A Used for describing the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document	N/A Used to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can also be applied to any kind of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL	N/A Enables multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content	N/A CSS can also allow the same markup page to be presented in different styles for different rendering methods	N/A Used to allow the web page to display differently depending on the screen size or device on which it is being viewed.
XSLT	N/A A language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents. As of mid-2012, most browsers have support for XSLT 1.0 built in.	N/A XSLT was part of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)'s Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) development effort.	N/A A richer data model and type system based on XML Schema. The processor follows a fixed algorithm.	N/A XSLT relies upon the W3C's XPath language for identifying subsets of the source document tree, as well as for performing calculations.	N/A XSLT is stronger in its handling of narrative documents with more flexible structure.
