AVI at a glance

AVI

AVI grew from Microsoft's RIFF multimedia architecture, which is why its structure reflects chunked stream handling and older desktop-video assumptions.

XML at a glance

XML

XML was developed by the W3C in the late 1990s as a simpler, web-friendly subset of SGML, then became one of the defining interchange layers for publishing, configuration, document, and enterprise integration workflows.
