While I appreciate JSON's brevity, let's not dismiss XML curtly. It has XSLT, which is powerful for transforming XML documents into other formats. JSON lacks an equivalent standardized transformation language.

JSON's got the modern vibe, plays nice with JavaScript, mobile, and web apps. XML's like that dusty old book on your shelf. Necessary read, but man, is it a snooze fest.

Let's not forget folks, JSON has limitations too. No comments (why??), and handling large numbers can be tricky cuz of that pesky floating-point format. Sometimes you've gotta pick the right tool for the job, not just the one that's easy.

XML forever! JSON who? You can't beat a good old verbose XML file. Readability is overrated. Bring back the angle brackets, I say!

Kids these days with their JSON this, JSON that. XML has been around forever, it's standardized, and it's not going away anytime soon. Plenty of legacy systems rely on it. Try to keep both tools in your belt!

While JSON's got its merits, XML isn't without its uses. Think namespaces and attributes, rich support in the enterprise world, and its ability to represent mixed content. But for most web devs? Yeah, JSON's probably the practical choice.

json ftw! way easier to parse, and who's got time for all those end tags xml's got? not me 😂

Totally agree with you! JSON is the way to go for config files, debugging, and it's awesome for nested data structures which can be a pain in XML. Plus, we've got JSON Schema for validation so we're not losing out much there.
