Of course we agree that the JSON representation is verbose. The question is: what is harder to use in a program? A verbose JSON representation that is just dictionaries and lists, or a concise XML one that is represented and manipulated using the DOM API?

- cxr 5y ago> The question is: what is harder to use in a program? In your imagination, maybe, but otherwise, no, it's not. The claim being prosecuted is that "Everything XML wanted to be, JSON did better." (It would be bad enough to lose sight of this once, but I explicitly repeated it for your benefit in the comment that you you are directly replying to. This iteration makes #3.)
