I miss the "and a project which doesn't use modern standards"-part in your post. It's not as if JSON or other modern things are not used in many Java projects. Your project seems to be stuck in the past, as are many JS projects. Legacy code is no fun most of the time.
- kybernetikos 8y agoI didn't read this as a json vs xml comment, although I suppose it could have been. Rather, I think it's a comment about how there is no convenient, lightweight syntax in Java for dealing with records/maps/trees/dictionaries.
- worldsayshi 8y agoYes this was closer to my point. Dealing with JSON (like data) is much less convenient in Java than JavaScript. Haven't had to deal with XML configuration in Java for a long time, which I'm thankful for.
