XML Interview Questions and Answers

Question: Give a few examples of types of applications that can benefit from using XML?

Answer:

There are literally thousands of applications that can benefit from XML technologies. The point of this question is not to have the candidate rattle off a laundry list of projects that they have worked on, but, rather, to allow the candidate to explain the rationale for choosing XML by citing a few real world examples.

For instance, one appropriate answer is that XML allows content management systems to store documents independently of their format, which thereby reduces data redundancy.
Another answer relates to B2B exchanges or supply chain management systems. In these instances, XML provides a mechanism for multiple companies to exchange data according to an agreed upon set of rules. A third common response involves wireless applications that require WML to render data on hand held devices.
