Why XML for a CMS?
Web technology evolves constantly, so an organization must plan for change when developing their Web strategy. This means using content storage formats that are ‘raw’, such as XML. As the site develops and the design changes, or there are major software overhauls, the raw content of the site can be used in its original form without the need for a costly conversion process.

Many content management systems advertise themselves as being ‘XML-based’ however, in most cases, this simply means that some of the system’s data is stored in XML format.

FLUiD CMS also uses XML Schemas to validate content, and publishes XML data through the application of XSL Styl
