About XHTML (.XHTML)
XHTML stands for Extensible HyperText Markup Language and is a hybrid between HTML and XML. It is designed to be stricter and more structured than traditional HTML, making web pages more consistent and easier to parse by different browsers. XHTML became popular in the early 2000s as web standards evolved to improve interoperability. Its syntax rules enforce well-formedness, which helps developers avoid common coding errors.
Technical Details
XHTML is an XML-compliant version of HTML 4.01, meaning it must adhere to XML syntax rules such as case sensitivity and proper tag closure. Documents written in XHTML are parsed by XML parsers, which enforce these rules strictly, unlike the lenient HTML parsers. This XML compliance allows XHTML to be easily transformed with technologies like XSLT and integrated with other XML-based standards. The language’s design promotes better compatibility with data-driven and mobile web applications.
Additional Information & Use Cases
XHTML files typically use the .xhtml or .xml file extension and are served with application/xhtml+xml MIME type. Unlike regular HTML, XHTML documents must be properly closed and nested, reflecting its XML roots. This strictness means that even a small mistake can cause the entire page to fail to render in some browsers. The rise of HTML5 has since reduced the widespread use of XHTML, but it still serves as a foundation for clean coding practices.
