XML Schema is hilariously painful but it at least exists and is in fairly common use. JSON Schema is still an Internet-Draft that almost nobody seems to be aware of, so JSON-based systems are still at the "garbage in, garbage out" level and will only get worse with maintenance.

- rams 16y agoXML Schemas are well established in areas like insurance. I worked on a insurance portal in 2001-2002 that made extensive use of the Origo schemas - I realized that XML is really huge in some areas. To the non-enterprise / HN startup / web dev types it seems that XML can be wished away, but they have no idea of how well entrenched it is.
