This is kind of off-topic, but whenever I see a spate of, "Is RSS dead/dying?" posts, I wish they would focus more of the historical context around the W3C and XML standards and developer/browser maker reaction to that to split from the W3C to focus of HTML/CSS/JS
Are there any other end-user facing specs/apps built on XML beside beside RSS?
It always seemed redundant to me that the most popular RSS reader is Google's which is re-wrapping stripped down XML feeds back into a another HTML/CSS/Javascript presentation layer.
Maybe JSON readers would be more popular to implement.
- icebraining 14y agoI don't know what do you mean by "end-user facing specs/apps". But if enterprise apps where the content is formatted in XML count, then there are thousands (I'm working on OpenERP, for example, which uses XML both to define views and to transmit content to the client). Then there's SVG. And the Office formats, both MS' and LibreOffice's. And obviously XHTML. And XMPP, which drives Google Talk and clients to FB Chat. Just look at the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_markup_languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_markup_languages
