Root element
Each XML document has one, and exactly one single root element. This element encloses all following elements and is therefore the parent element to all the other elements. The end-tag of the child element is always before the end-tag of the parent element - this is called nested elements.
<parent> <child> </child> </parent>
If the end-tag of a parent element occurs before the end-tag of the child element this is improperly nested and illegal in XML.
