I'm not sure what your point is.
I consider XML proved itself as a reliable data layer. JSON is not considered because it does not even supports attributes and extensibility.
I would really appreciate if you would consider contributing some nice ideas. Come over to the mailing list :P
- weavejester 14y agoI wasn't leading to a particular point, I was just wondering what your design philosophy was. By choosing XML you're using a syntax with a wide ecosystem and very good tooling, but you're given up some simplicity in your design. Presumably you consider this to be a good trade-off, and I don't necessarily disagree with that choice. My concern is that in order to compete with an existing standard, a technology either needs to be a considerably better, or trivial to substitute for the old standard. XML/HSS seems to satisfy neither criteria, clinging to familiarity on the one hand, but having a high barrier to adoption on the other.
