I am new to web development programming and I'm finding it difficult to understand the new of XML. Does XML provide specific features which databases do not? Why use XML over databases? Is XML supposed to be an alternative solution to databases? From my point of view I would think that XML is inefficient in comparison to database technology as searching with SQL in a database is highly more efficient than searching within an XML text file using a reader.
Does anyone have an opinion on this subject matter?
