I lived through SOAP/WSDL horror with their numerous standards and the lack of compatibility between stacks in different programming languages. Having seen abused XML, CSV formats. CSV is preferable over XML. Human-readability matters. Relative simplicity matters. Despite JSON may also be interpreted differently by different tools, it is a good default choice for communicating between programs

> lack of compatibility between stacks in different programming languages Well, that sure beats OpenAPI lack of compatibility between stacks in the same programming language. I think the fact one can't randomly concatenate strings and call it "valid XML" a huge bonus over the very common "join strings with comma and \r\n", non-rfc4180 compliant (therefore mostly unparseable without human/LLM interaction) garbage people often pretend is CSV.
