XML

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language and file format for storing, transmitting, and reconstructing arbitrary data. It defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

  • Utilized often in BBEdit for CLMs.

  • This is a fantastic article explaining how an XML diagram which we learned about in software engineering directly translates to the XML code that is used by the system. This is why diagrams are so important in software engineering overall.

  • This website discusses how to extract XML files from quantum espresso.

For example, this is the XML diagram: !Pasted image 20221208133914.png

And this would be the XML code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8**"**?>  
<bookstore>  
  <book category="cooking">  
    <title lang="en">Everyday Italian</title>  
    <author>Giada De Laurentiis</author>  
    <year>2005</year>  
    <price>30.00</price>  
  </book>  
  <book category="children">

Wait so hold on just a second, wouldn't this have applications in quantum??
