'''Wireless Markup Language''' (WML),  based on [[XML]], is an obsolete [[markup language]] intended for devices that implement the [[Wireless Application Protocol]] (WAP) specification, such as [[mobile phones]]. It provides navigational support, data input, hyperlinks, text and image presentation, and forms, much like [[HTML]] (Hypertext Markup Language). It preceded the use of other markup languages used with WAP, such as [[XHTML]] and HTML itself, which achieved dominance as processing power in mobile devices increased.
