As long as only well-formedness is required, XML is a generic framework for storing any amount of text or any data whose structure can be represented as a tree. The only indispensable syntactical requirement is that the document has exactly one root element (alternatively called the document element). This means that the text must be enclosed between a root start-tag and a corresponding end-tag.

XPath may be used to compute values (strings, numbers, or boolean values) from the content of an XML document.

 XML does not do anything. It merely holds information. It has no predefined tags. You invent your own tags in XML. Its not a replacement for HTML, which can only use HTML tags, and is meant to display information and format it in pretty ways.
