What Are xmlns and xmlns:x in WPF? Understanding XML Namespace Declarations

In WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), xmlns and xmlns:x are XML namespace declarations used in XAML files. They define the scope of XML namespaces, which are used to distinguish between elements and attributes that might have the same name but are used in different contexts. xmlns : The Default XML Namespace Definition : xmlns stands for XML namespace. It is used to declare the default namespace for the elements in the XAML file. Purpose : In WPF, it typically maps to the .NET namespaces that contain the classes and controls used in WPF applications. This default namespace allows you to use the WPF controls and elements without prefixing them. Example : <Window x:Class="WpfApp.MainWindow"    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"    ... > <Grid>        <Button Content="Click Me"/>     </Grid> </Window> Here, xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" sets...

Why we should use xaml in Wpf ?

The specific advantage that XAML brings to WPF is that XAML is a completely declarative language, allowing the developer (or designer) to describe the behavior and integration of components without the use of procedural programming. Although it is rare that an entire application will be built completely in XAML, the introduction of XAML allows application designers to more effectively contribute to the application development cycle. Using XAML to develop user interfaces also allows for separation of model and view, which is considered a good architectural principle. 

"XAML is used when we have two systems which are in heterogeneous in nature.so WPF internal representation is XAML.so if we create the UI in XAML than it can be render on windows application,web application inside browser."
