What's the difference between a Glockenspiel and a Xylophone?

Both the glockenspiel and xylophone are percussion instruments. In both cases, a set of tuned keys are set in the manner of a keyboard. In the case of a glockenspiel, the keys are metal, and for the xylophone, the keys are wooden.  The glockenspiel is thus a type of "metallophone".
