{{languages|Gramps XML}}
'''Gramps XML''' is the '''Extensible Markup Language ''' ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML XML] ) format designed for storing Gramps data. The goal is to have a fully portable, human- and machine-readable XML format so that the data can be read and written without any loss. In addition, XML format allows for smaller files (if '''compressed''') and for using the version control system for tracking the changes (if '''uncompressed''').
The reason XML is not used by Gramps as the working database ("internal") format is performance, specifically memory considerations.
==Gramps XML Resources==
{{man note|Starting with Gramps XML 1.0|Each revision of Gramps XML has its own resource page, with references to that version's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_type_definition DTD] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RELAX_NG RELAX NG] schema.<br />The resource pages are listed at [httphttps://www.gramps-project.org/xml/ httphttps://www.gramps-project.org/xml/].}}
