> When Is JSON A Better Fit? > Data from the service is directly consumed by a web browser This seems to me like a key issue, you need to really know beforehand that this won't ever be the case, else you need to make your application polyglot afterwards. A risky bet for any business data service. Maybe if it's strictly infrastructure glue type internal service. But even then, maybe someone will come along wanting to monitor this thing on the browser.
