Well, the answer is the same for that quesiton as it is for the question
"Why is XML useful at all?".
XML is a text-bassed format, which is advantagous for many reasons: it can
be read & written to on any platform and is non-proprietary and it poses no
security threat (via execution) and can be passed through firewalls.
A configuration file is nothing more than a file that holds "settings" for
some applicaiton. In the Windows 3.1 days, .ini files were used for storing
configuration data. But, .ini files lacked a particular structure. XML is
all about document structure, and so, it has become a very popular format
for configuration and settinngs files.
