In the last few years, XML has been adopted in fields as diverse as law, aeronautics, finance, insurance, robotics, multimedia, hospitality, travel, art, construction, telecommunications, software, agriculture, physics, etc. XML has become the syntax of choice for newly designed document formats across almost all computer applications. It's used on various OS, including Linux, Windows, Mac OS, and many others.

With such wide use of XML, there is obviously a need for a language/technology that lets users manipulate XML documents. There is a wide range of technologies and applications available for programmers’ use with XML. XDML is a simple, high-level language for XML document manipulation that can be used by people in difference fields, who do not have any prior experience with computer programming.

XDML is written entirely in Java, with use of existing Java APIs, such as DOM, SAX and JAXP. The compiler will convert the XDML source code into Java code that will be compiled by a Java compiler and executed by Java virtual machine.
