Generate Random XML Product Data

Why is XML needed?

Before the XML standard emerged, many problems were encountered when moving data used in a software or database to another platform. The process of adapting the data structure in the transmitted information set to the structure in the other system took a long time and required complex processes. In addition, it was not possible to use these designed systems and functions in other areas as a result of the process. In order to prevent this situation, the XML language has emerged upon the necessity of developing a standard data transmission technology.

XML is a hierarchical markup language like HTML. However, the tags used in XML are determined by people, unlike HTML. XML, which leaves us the initiative in naming, has strict and definite rules in other matters.
