In my view, the Nmap XML file is more useful for applications in scan
results are required outside of native Nmap, which requires Nmap like
functionalities. For example , you can easily use Nmap to scan a large
network for live hosts (the services and all) and then after saving it
to a XML log, use that XML file in a Python or Ruby or even C#
applications. This is in addition to the inherent advantages of XML
such as "Easy Machine Readability" , Platform indepence which together
makes it a good candidate for using Nmap for a wide variety of
applications.

I hope I am not gone wrong somewhere.


Cheers,
