XML can be parsed and transformed more easily than a language with a more heterogeneous/specific syntax. This is obvious.

- senko 3y agoXML is absolutely not easily parsed, if you want to do it correctly. Unless you mean to say you can easily parse XML if you're using an XML parser library, in which case you can just as easily parse any other language using its parser: for example Python using its `ast` module.

- taeric 3y agoMost of the complications for parsing XML come down to entity resolution, and dealing with namespaces. Take those out, and it is back to trivial. That is, surface level parsing of an XML document is somewhat easier than other documents.
