AI explanation

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) Recommendation, first published in 1998 and maintained by the W3C's XML working group as the open, vendor-neutral standard for the format. Microsoft, Sun, and Java are companies/platforms that adopted and used XML extensively but did not create or govern the specification — standardization of core web technologies like XML, HTML, and CSS is the W3C's role, not any single vendor's.
