While working with XML files, we generally use the XmlWriter, XmlReader, and XmlDocument classes. Apart from these classes, we can also LINQ to execute operations on the XML file. One of the main advantages of using LINQ to execute XML operations is that we can use a consistent query experience that LINQ provides with other data providers. 

Using LINQ, we can create, edit, and parse XML files. Apart from providing a consistent query experience, LINQ also helps us in writing much more powerful queries that are more compact than other XML classes. Let's look at the operations that we can perform on XML and understand how we can execute them via LINQ.
