One of the major features of the .NET Framework is that it enables you to easily produce distributed applications that are language-independent, and that are platform-independent when .NET is ported to other platforms. XML plays a major part in this plan by acting as a simple, portable glue layer that is used to pass data around in distributed applications. Microsoft has XML-enabled many parts of the .NET Framework and it is crucial for the developers to get an understanding of how to work with XML data using the .NET Framework classes.
