XML master race
XML is extremely verbose.
Again, requires some other tooling to generate (I feel I can point to JavaScript for an example of XML manipulation)
What's funny is that if you use attributes a lot then XML can be about the same size as JSON. But people think there are things you should and shouldn't use attributes for for some reason. The only thing XML has going for it is a really nice schema format, but even today that's pretty moot. JSON schema and others are pretty well supported.
Yeah, reading XML without rendering it or at least with syntax highlighting is a pain.
JSON is way nicer.
