RFC 3023: XML Media Types

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 7303.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 7303 — XML Media Types

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document standardizes five new media types -- text/xml, application/xml, text/xml-external-parsed-entity, application/xml- external-parsed-entity, and application/xml-dtd -- for use in exchanging network entities that are related to the Extensible Markup Language (XML). This document also standardizes a convention (using the suffix '+xml') for naming media types outside of these five types when those media types represent XML MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) entities.
