Title: RE: what is xml most used for
Naresh.
 
I agree, But in its basic form that is what XML was designed for. 
 
A meta language to define other languages.  I would counter that
even the "data" dabate is that XML is a meta langauge to define
Data patterns and or specialized languages to define data patterns.
(mathml, CAML, etc are examples, or the plethoria of business data
models)
Or to create languages that act on the data patterns.  (Xpath, XSLT.
as examples.)   
 
(SGML and XML are creatures of the same tree though
XML is a specialized version of SGML)

I believe, XML, at the moment, is being used for defining new languages (a new grammer along with semantics, which suits and caters to some specific requirement). This cames through the most powerful feature of XML - its extensibility
 
Today, a plethora of new standards are based on XML - XSL, WSDL, SGML, MATHML and u can keep on counting..

well I don't really consider data exchange ( in general ) to be a niche since almost anything can be data exchange. 
 
I am just wondering where XML is "fitting in".  I know what it has been hyped to be but want to know more about what it is actually doing.

Without knowing what types of specifics you're looking for, I cannot. :)
 
Please be more specific about your request - and if I believe that there is information that I can provide (some I cannot, for obvious reasons), then I would be happy to do so.

I was wondering what is the biggest niche that xml has obtained.  Like what
projects are you using XML for?
