HAML vs XML: What are the differences?
HAML: HTML Abstraction Markup Language - A Markup Haiku. Haml is a markup language that’s used to cleanly and simply describe the HTML of any web document, without the use of inline code. Haml functions as a replacement for inline page templating systems such as PHP, ERB, and ASP. However, Haml avoids the need for explicitly coding HTML into the template, because it is actually an abstract description of the HTML, with some code to generate dynamic content; XML: A simple, very flexible text format. A markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.
HAML and XML can be categorized as "Languages" tools.
HAML is an open source tool with 3.44K GitHub stars and 544 GitHub forks. Here's a link to HAML's open source repository on GitHub.
StackShare, Bukalapak, and Accenture are some of the popular companies that use HAML, whereas XML is used by Sparks42 GmbH, Kasa Smart, and Securly. HAML has a broader approval, being mentioned in 113 company stacks & 40 developers stacks; compared to XML, which is listed in 7 company stacks and 27 developer stacks.
