XML
-- (eXtensible Markup Language) A widely used system for
defining data formats. XML provides a very rich system
to define complex documents and data structures such as
invoices, molecular data, news feeds, glossaries, inventory
descriptions, real estate properties, etc. As long as
a programmer has the XML definition for a collection of
data (often called a "schema") then they can create a
program to reliably process any data formatted according
to those rules.
XPFE
-- (Cross Platform Front End) A suite of technologies used
to create applications that will work and look the same on
different computer operating systems. A widely used XPFE application
is the Netscape web browser in version 7 and later. The primary
technologies used in creating XPFE applications are Javascript,
Cascading Style Sheets, and XUL.
XUL
-- (eXtensible User-interface Language) A markup language
similar to HTML and based on XML. XUL used to define what
the user interface will look like for a particular piece of
software. XUL is used to define what buttons, scrollbars,
text boxes, and other user-interface items will appear, but
it is not used to define how those item will look (e.g. what
color they are). The most widely used example of XUL use is
probably in theMozilla web browser, where the entire user
interface is defined using the XUL language.
