Idea of XML and how it works on server

XML stands Extensible Markup Language, being a textual data format it is used for interchanging data. An XML is a plain text file, it is the same as an HTML file. It is usually easy to be stored in a standard web server. They are stored in internet servers the same way HTMLs are stored. It is also very easy to generate an XML on a server that has no previous XML Software installed.

How it works is that when a request or an event occurs in your browser an XML is created. Then through Http which is normally a means of communication the request is send to the server which receives it  in an XML format. The server will then receive, process and creates a response which it then send back the information to your browser through Http. The response received by the browser is also in XML format. The figure below will help you understand more about how XML works.
