XML for document content (like, the whole point of markup) = awesome.
XML for app configuration or basic data transfer formats = horrible.
Unfortunately I fear so many people got burned by the latter issues they forgot (or missed entirely) all the greatness of the first.
- jaredcwhite 1y agoP.S. Google has a bazillion dollars but can't figure out how to maintain a new secure XSLT library or update to a newer one which exists already? The usage argument is dumb…maybe a lot more sites would find good uses for XML/XSLT if this stuff was actually maintained and promoted properly!
- AgentME 1y agoWhy would Google want to bother? Who actually uses XSLT today for making webpages? Why should browsers spend effort on supporting XML+XSLT-based pages in addition to HTML+CSS-based pages?
- zzo38computer 1y agoI agree that XML is much better for document content and markup than for configuration and other stuff. I think still there are problems with XML, although that problem can be avoided (and often is, now, since JSON is often used instead, but JSON has its own problems, too).
