That's just a matter of what you've been exposed to. While XML will always be a little more verbose than JSON, a well-designed XML document format can be much easier to read than a poorly defined JSON one. Plus, chances are that good XML also specifies a schema, which can be used by editors and tools to help you make sense of the content and rules governing it. JSON has a few schema mechanisms, but they're not integrated into the standard and thus much less supported by tooling.
