Hi,

As per my understanding, XML must have a root node but it is not necessary in case of XMLList. XMLList is as the name suggest is a list of XML. It means it can contain XMLs without a root node.

I hope this makes u clear.

Hi,

xml will be simple xml, you can set it as dataprovider. But dynamically removing and adding item in it is not possible. In case of xmllist you can add, remove the item or may be more operations are possible. In case of xmllistcollection you can do more things than just adding and removing items like filtering data, sorting etc.

You can only depend on yourself. The cavalry ain't coming.

Difference 1: Xml is something and XMLList is more than some thing... 

Difference 2: Xml has three word 'X', 'M' &'L' and XMLLIST has  7 words  'X', 'M' , 'L'  'L' 'I' 'S' 'T'

Difference 3: XMLLIST HAS ONE VOWEL 'I' AND XML has no vowel
