XAML in WPF

Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) is a markup language for declarative application programming. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) implements a XAML processor implementation and provides XAML language support. The WPF types are implemented such that they can provide the required type backing for a XAML representation. In general, you can create the majority of your WPF application UI in XAML markup.
