First thing you need to note is
XML is Markup language and Javascript is Scripting language

Markup languages are modern systems for annotating a text in a way that is syntactically distinguishable from that text. they are more descriptive than text.

Javascript, vbscripting are scripting languages used to validate client input and process data.

XML tags are not predefined. You can define your own tags as you need.In config file, all tags have special meaning.These tags use to configure ASP.Net setting.
Web.config files modify the default settings stipulated in Machine.config.
take a look of web.config
Web.config

Hope it helps....
