While some people get a bit cargo cult about things there is a rough consensus that XML is good for some things and terrible for others whilst JSON is the exact reverse ;-)

I personally rather like YAML for anything intended for humans to read and edit.

If XML didn't have those idiotic verbose closing tags, this probably wouldn't even be a discussion. Or if JSON had comments and didn't require quoting all keys.

What's funnier is seeing the HTTP/JSON folks re-invent SOAP. But maybe this time it'll actually be Simple.
