It's a markup language, not a programming language.

Whoosh

Seriously though, spring configurations are written in XML and you create variables, call functions, and have control flow. Effectively turning XML into a horrible twisted shadow of a programming language.

All in the name of "configurability" through dependency injection.

Spring moved away from XML ages ago. I work on a 6 year old Spring project and it has never had a single line of XML in it.
