This form of PC programming only sends and saves data as text file not display it. To see data, XML requires working in conjunction with a different language. Data, saved in a tree format, uses elements designed and named. Writing data in an XML file is a quite simple.

Required things:

  • For writing in XML documents use a standard text editor like Notepad. Go to "Start", select "All Programs," and then click "Accessories." Open "Notepad".
  • An XML statement commands to program running on page. A standard statement begins with <?xml, and ends with closing tag.
  • Establish tree format with a root elements and child elements. Tree format is main part of XML language. A root elements is first line of tree defying data writing.
  • Verify tree for any mistakes. See that all elements must have a closing tag.
  • Store file in XML format by adding .xml as extension. To do so, Click on "File," select "Save As." Enter name for file and add .xml at end.
