XML for data

Data Bases

A table becomes an element, which includes a number of row-level elements, each row includes field-level elements

<table>
  <row><field1>value 1-1</field1><field2>value1-2</field2></row>
  <row><field1>value 2-1</field1><field2>value2-2</field2></row>
</table>

Note: this looks veryverbose, but it compresses very well!
