I don't know where you got that idea.

"XML was designed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to streamline data
exchange across the Internet. XML is a "self-describing system," meaning that
the data carried within XML files is defined by using a set of agreed upon
terms. It is closely related to HTML, the markup language used for web-page
creation. In fact, XML works similarly to HMTL. A website written in HTML can
be shared universally; it doesn't matter if the page was designed on a Mac,
Windows, or Linux computer. When data is written in XML, it can be transferred
between applications, regardless of the factors that would typically mandate
transforming the data into a useable format."
