I know Java and C++ but am looking to get in to XML. I don’t want to waste time reading over the basics of programming in a book, so has anyone any recommendations for resources for learning XML that assume a knowledge of programming already, or even better highlight how to switch from Java/C++ to XML ie. main differences etcs.
XML is not a programming language. It is a markup language. It’s mainly used to store/transmit data in a structured manner.
If you know Java and C++, there are libraries out there that can load and parse XML files.
Adding to Soto’s answer, you can technically use it to describe behavior (e.g. XAML, processing instructions), but most of the time it’s for storing and transmitting data in a certain way.
In your case, XML can be used to describe the GUI layout of an Android application.
