Big Data Ecosystems
In 2025, XML is seamlessly integrated with big data frameworks like Hadoop and Spark. These systems process XML data at petabyte scales using distributed XML parsing technologies, enabling real-time analytics for global enterprises.
RESTful API Architectures
While JSON dominates new APIs, legacy and high-integrity systems in 2025 still rely on XML for contract-based services. XML-based APIs now include real-time validation, versioning, and AI-enhanced error recovery.
XML Databases
2025 sees XML databases supporting hybrid data storage with graph structures. Queries using XPath 4.0 and XQuery 4.1 can navigate hierarchical data while integrating machine learning models for predictive analytics on tree-structured datasets.
Real-Time Data Pipelines
Modern data orchestration tools now support XML transformations at 10+ million nodes per second. Cloud-native pipelines combine XSLT with AI to auto-generate schema-aware transformations and error-correct malformed documents in real-time.
