I came across a CMS known as GetSimple. It uses XML for storing all its internal data. In a way it is using XML as a database. Now could anyone explain me the advantages & disadvantages of using XML as a database.
Thanks in Advance.

Using XML as your database will work fine as long as your datasets stay relatively small. Meaining, it can all fit in memory and stay there comfortably. Once your data grows to the point where it will not all fit in memory, you will probably start seeing serious performance degradation.
