In Java-land, XML became a replacement for actual code. And for that, it's kind of terrible.

- vips7L 4y agoI’ve never written XML in Java in the past 7 years of being a developer.
- wvenable 4y agoIt's not the way Java is done now because, as noted, it was awful. Java is almost 30 years old now. Developers who worked in Java 20 years ago had a pretty different experience than it is now. However, I'm sure a lot of that code still exists.

- brazzy 4y agoUsing XML became optional in Spring as soon as Java got annotations. Which was in Java 5. 18 years ago.
