This question is too vague to answer...

Every thing is done by server and client side automatically then what is the need of implementing XML and what programmers learn in that?

1 solution

XML is just a data storage format, which has been adopted by a large number of companies, due to it's open specification.

It was not designed to provide security, nor does it pretend to: it is a human readable data format and nothing more.

Security should not start and end at the data storage file: if anyone gets that far you are badly compromised anyway regardless of the format you are using.
