Question 1

Mindy needs to feed data from her company's customer database to her department's internal website.How can she ensure the data will be formatted coming from the database in a way the web server can use?

Accepted Answer

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is designed to structure, store, and transport data between different systems. It is commonly used to transport data between web servers and applications, as it can be easily parsed and understood by different applications and web servers. By using XML to format the data from the customer database, Mindy can ensure that the web server will be able to use the data effectively. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are not suitable in this scenario, as they are used to format the presentation of web pages rather than the data itself. A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a web address used to locate specific resources on the internet and is not used for formatting data.
