For some weird reason, "Squarespace" keeps reminding me of a location-based social network from the early 2000's. Did I imagine that? Or did the domain and trademark get bought?

I'm starting to notice this too. More readable than JSON in some cases, in fact. I suspect that while JSON is better for hierarchical data, well-designed XML is better for declarative portions of programs (e.g. UIs). This was actually
