HTML is static and you should use specific tags given by HTML and cannot use our own custom tags where as XML is dyanmic and we can create our own custom tags.

XML and HTML were designed with different goals:

XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is.
HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how data looks.

That is HTML is about displaying information, while XML is about describing information.
