What is XML?

XML stands for Extensible Markup Language and its a way to store information in a tree structure with tags and elements. XML Data is stored inside tags, and each tag can have attributes or nested tags that contain values.

For example our OPC UA Client XML file structure has a main tag of UaClientConfig. UaClientConfig has nested tags of Settings and Nodes. Settings has nested tags labeled ConnectionInformation and Security. The attribute are properties of a tag that provide more specific information, for example UaClientConfig has an attribute of UAVersion.
