: This is an "easy to use" term, but it doesn't actually convey any meaning beyond "language used for data exchange", which doesn't warrant the need for an article, at most for an wiktionary entry "Computer language used in the exchange of data". It doesn't even mean ''designed'' for data exchange. The article is also essentially ''orphaned''. Neither XML or YAML link to it - they use the much more precise terminology of being a [[markup language]]. As such, this page is essentially a [[WP:CRYSTAL]] attempt at defining a term that is occasionally used, but only informally.

*'''Merge or redirect''' (to [[Data exchange]]?) The phrase is used often enough (and with a standard enough, if informal, meaning not to be unduly ambiguous) to be a natural search term, and the use for data exchange of at least some of the languages concerned is verifiable (in the Wikipedia sense) and should be mentioned somewhere. But that doesn't have to be in this article. (Note: I recently deprodded the article, but more or less for the reasons above rather than any belief that the article should be kept as is.)
