This is very important for wireless apps. JSON considerably reduces network traffic compared to XML. This is very important for wireless apps.

JSON is optimized for data structures & Ajax. If a special version of XML is created which is optimized for data structures & Ajax -- it will look exactly like JSON. Just like HTML can be thought of as a special version of XML for browsers. XML is a general purpose text format. JSON is optimized for data structures & Ajax.

Browser supports JSON natively so, we are able to access it thru javascript with simpler notations. If browsers support XML with similar API's, XML too will look easy. JSON looks better than XML due to support by Javascript language and nothing else. Otherwise both are equally good. In fact I don't like JSON, because it is one more learn without much merit The true difference between JSON and XML is the support provided by the browser.

However, they should not diverge on political grounds. There is a lot of investment went on XML direction since 2000. We all had concerns on performance, security, etc especially when information, not data, is moving thru several islands. There was a cry that we are not fully utilizing hardware power, thus leading to virtualization etc. Now, we have quad-core and 8-core processors and XML parsing power is not a question as it was in year 2000. Also, why don't we embed JSON structures into XML document, just like C# includes assembler code? We should look for options to improve XML infrastructure just like we did for TCP transport.

We need to be aware of all the limitations. But both of these work well when you use them for their specific purposes – and altogether, which one is ‘better’ than the other is a largely subjective matter. I do like JSON, and I do like XML. I’m not going to use the one when the other will do the job better, however. So it’s good we discuss the limitations – but some people get very personal about it, which is not helpful to anyone including themselves. That’s fine, and good.

Thus, there’s no point insisting on these and that for one party versus these and that for the other. If you are a real web developer that the slightest difference between these two wouldn’t affect your work. I must say that we are comparing two different things made for different purposes.

They fit very well for the purpose they were made for. While, in some cases, it's good to mention why the one may be better than the other, the truth is that the 'other' sometimes looses when it comes to a specific purpose. Just something to keep in mind.
