Sorry don't buy that at all. The biggest users of JSON are Web Developers who type and read <HTML> all day long and in their sleep. Angle Brackets are no new concept to them. I don't think comparing JSON to Programming languages is appropriate. It compares to *data* description not *programming* languages. But I will give you this, I don't like "programming" in XML syntax. As powerful as it is, I have a hard time with XSLT, and prefer XQuery hands-down. Maybe it is the "<" after all ! s/</{//g s/>/}//g ---------------------------------------- David A.

Consider it a composition cost. When writers or programmers write, they want to think in the concepts they are conceiving, not in the syntax, so the fewer typing strokes they memorize to create a value pair or any other expression regularly used is a net savings in human energy. Some resistance comes from the costs of multiple hand-to-eye habits. Unless used a lot by the same person, these penalize the process with a start-up/relearning time (maybe not long but rusty has a meaning), and introduce more errors. len -----Original Message----- From: David Lee [mailto:dlee@calldei.com] Sent: Monday, December 06, 2010 10:04 AM To: 'Pete Cordell'; 'rjelliffe'; 'Xml-Dev'' Subject: RE: XML2.0: Truncated End Tags (Was: Fixing what's broke) If you really value conciseness above all else there is always attributes JSON: { "element" : { "a1" : "value1" , "a2" : "value2" } } XML <element a1="value1" a2="value2"/> This whole "JSON is more compact" theory is a red herring. _______________________________________________________________________ XML-DEV is a publicly archived, unmoderated list hosted by OASIS to support XML implementation and development.
