What is XML language?
David Bacon pronounces it "Eggsmell". XML is the Extensible
Markup Language. Like many "standards" in computer science, XML
is a moving target. In the simplest terms, XML is just a generalized
version of HTML. Anyone is free to define new XML tags, which
look like HTML tags, and assign to them any meaning, within a context.
AIML is an example of using the XML standard to define a specialized
language for artificial intelligence.
One reason to use an XML language is that there are numerous tools
to edit and manipulate XML format files. Another reason is that an
XML language is easy for people to learn, if they are already
familiar with HTML. Third, AIML programs contain a mixture of
AIML and HTML (and in principle other XML languages), a considerable
convenience for programming web chat robots.

David Bacon sounds like he has a good sense of humor. 😎

While you are waiting, try an open source search engine to search for it? The ALICE chat robot can follow many things, like our discussion about rolleyes. Try being more or less specific. No I never get confused. 😘
