XML Spoken Here: New Web Language Promises Smarter Surfing

XML should make Web searching more efficient but needs time and industry support.

This time next year, if predictions pan out, the Web will be a very different place to surf. You'll conduct searches with surgical precision; sort tables of data in a flash; and enjoy faster performance, enhanced online shopping, and seamless file swapping between programs.

All this comes thanks to a new technology called XML. Short for Extensible Markup Language, XML was officially adopted as a standard this past February by the World Wide Web Consortium--the ad hoc governors of the Web. Since then, a Who's Who of software companies--including Microsoft, Netscape, Lotus, IBM, and Adobe Systems--have publicly committed to supporting the language.
