"Nowadays if someone picks XML for a new design, we look at them like they’re from another planet."
Wait, what ?
I design and use scripts and tools in my personal data processing and in twilio, etc., that use XML ...
XML isn't the christ child but ... it does seem useful and valuable.
- recursive 5y agoTake out the namespaces, external entities, CDATA, and other cruft, and XML isnt tooo bad.
