Simply put, XML data usually isn't used to store and query a "nodes and edges" data structure. | |

However for a huge set of data, you would prefer to use an RDBMS, which perfectly stand to handle metadas, and relation betweens objects (even hierarchic now). It's more used to echange data between system than store them. And of course there is the specific case of HTML. | |
