Learning XML An Overview;

XML is an almost universally supported way of exchanging documents and data across applications and platforms. Microsoft has a family of XML technologies that allows users with differing requirements to do what they need, as simply and efficiently as possible.

Which XML application programming interface (API) should you use? Here are our top-level guidelines:

If you are writing managed code targeting the .NET Framework in C#, Visual Basic, J#, managed C++, or any other managed language, you should use System.Xml and/or LINQ to XML in the .NET Framework.

If you are writing native code using Visual Basic 6, C, C++, or a scripting languages you will probably want to use the MSXML library:

MSXML6 is the latest version that's included with Windows XP SP3 and all versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7. New applications should be using MSXML6.

MSXML5 is an older library optimized for Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007 and can only be used on machines that have an Office license.

MSXML4 is nearing deprecation. MSXML6 should be used for new applications

MSXML3 is included in Windows XP and higher.

Comprehensive list of all MSXML versions and variants

If you are writing native code and your application has tight performance or memory constraints, consider the XmlLite API.
