When it comes to the anti-XML discussion — readability is an opinion, not a fact. A lot of what programmers claim are facts are just opinions.
I am sorry you dislike XML. I remain unconvinced that using JSON or YAML over it is anything other than a personal preference born out of your chosen programming community’s tribalism.
@grmpyprogrammer When you need to access data from both PHP and JS, then JSON is the only format that is natively consumable from both languages.
That is a fact.
I _personally_ dislike JSON, but it does not mean in such cases I'm going to use XML or anything else and rely on userland 3rd party libs when parsing JSON is a native function away in both PHP and JSON.
@gmazzap That scenario seems correct to me. I wouldn’t advocate trying to get JS code to parse XML.
