This section provides information on Microsoft's support of the Extensible Markup Language (XML)—the universal format for data on the Web. XML allows developers to easily describe and deliver rich, structured data from any application in a standard, consistent way. XML does not replace HTML; rather, it is a complementary format.
Learn more about the Microsoft® BizTalk™ Framework 
, an XML-based framework for application integration and electronic commerce.
If you've heard of XML, but aren't exactly sure what it is and how it's used, read the Introduction to XML and find out more about the benefits of using XML.
Once you're comfortable with XML, use our tutorials and XML and Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) samples to learn how to start using XML on your Web site. Then, use our XML Developer's Guide and our XSL Developer's Guide as resources. Download a redistributable version of the Microsoft XML Parser. You can also get technical assistance.
(Note that XML has its own newsgroup: microsoft.public.xml. You can use this newsgroup to get answers to your XML questions, learn what's new with XML, and find out what you can do using XML.)
