I think JSON is just universally more easy to use. Every language I’ve used with it is mainly the same in the way it works. JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Perl, PHP.

I think JSON is just universally more easy to use. Every language I’ve used with it is mainly the same in the way it works. JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Perl, PHP... But you’re not wrong. Yes you have to deserialise it. Hence it being an Object Notation system. While you say JSON is trying to catch up with XML in regards to XPath, JSON is trying to catch up to XML with things like JSON Schema.
