XML from us to you

What is XML?

While HTML displays pages to users based on predefined standard tags, XML lets you create your own tags. Today, it is primarily used to offer formatted data for processing and publication. Information portals, e-shops, and others use it extensively. In most cases, they provide an XML file that they update at specific intervals, usually automatically via Cron.

Examples of well-known sites using XML

The most famous one is likely Heureka. Thanks to XML files, it downloads data from e-shops, such as current prices and product ranges, and offers them for comparison. Other sites that use this data include Glami, Favi, and similar platforms. These sites load data via XML files and use various useful filters to help people easily choose products they like online. These projects are classified as affiliate websites.
