JSON or XML? Which is better? [closed]

by

Choose XML if

  • An industry standard XSD exists.
  • You value more mature validation standard and tools.
  • You need to transform the data to another XML form. (XSLT is excellent for transformations.)
  • Or, you have to represent mixed content (tags mixed within text).

Choose JSON if

  • The closer fit to JavaScript is valuable to you or your callers.
  • You prefer a lighter-weight solution.
  • Or, the above Choose XML if reasons do not apply to you.
