What is a practical use for XML? What kind of situation would call for using
it?

For this project, a) I'm learning it, b) figured it would be easier to
deal with than creating a database and dealing with the ISP. But for
another project, I'm looking at using it for faking that a prototype is
working for demo purposes - namely because the database is REALLY complex.

Data interchange between disparate systems is a key usage of XML.
EDI is one of the sectors where XML really shines.

XML is typicaly there for storage of information in a homogenous way.
John's suggestion of WDDX makes short hand of CFML constructs and is
adaptable to JS and XML format.
XML is used for configuration files, datasources and webservices just as a
couple of examples.
A lot of Flex examples use
Like I said, for faking things for demo purposes (figured it would be
quick and dirty) and mom's little website (not much data). :)

MCG, your initial explorations with XML and CF are not unusual. You've
gotten some good tips here so far. I'd like to offer a couple more--and not
just for Mary-Catherine but for anyone learning to deal with XML in CF. It's
one of those topics where--especially if you're new to XML in general--I'd
I need to chime in here. Charlie has given me this PDF in the past and I
have used the sample code in it more than once now. It is a great and quick
read. The types of examples are exactly what you need half the time.

Well, like I said, don't let the 30 pages scare you off. If you need (or
want) to work with XML in CFML, just start reading the first few pages. That
will give you great insight in and of itself. I just can't say enough about
it. (Thanks, Teddy, for chiming in. And Chris, I wish you well with it
