Re:  Percentage of web services supporting XML versus JSON
Having EXI should have solved such issue but did not. As I understand its more a compression format and needs to be decompressed for parsing.

Loac says that a data format should have these properties:

        - Binary, explicit sizes, efficient to parse
        - Small, exponentially smaller the larger the data gets
        - Good type coverage, extensible
        - No NULL value
        - Fully specified

Do you agree with those properties? Would you add other properties? Would you remove some of the properties?

For my purposes, binary imposes more costs than benefits.  I don't give a damn about types, but extensibility is crucial.

The piece that's deeply intriguing here, though, is:


"Small, exponentially smaller the larger the data gets"

The first signs I saw of trouble for XML were all around that conversation, as I got into the mapping space.  At that point, XML's doubling or tripling the cost of storage was a problem.  Today it's more about bandwidth.

If there's a way around that, it's a HUGE selling point.

Thanks,
Simon

Okay - Loic's talk is up, though he's in the middle of a conference.

<http://ninenines.eu/talks/bed/bed.html>

Why Not JSON? is slide 19. Why Not XML? is slide 22.

He sketches out his (binary) alternative from 23 on.  I want to see a
lot more detail, but I wish this had existed a decade ago if only for
conversational use.

Thanks,
Simon

I am so confused to see JSON defended on xml-dev... ;)

I'll check in with Loic and see what he's actually proposing, then try
to bring something more complete back here.

Thanks,
Simon
