Misused is key... The idea of a self-describing data set is pretty cool, and could have a good use if you had to dump a data-set to be consumed by some external 3rd party without any other documentation... (when has that ever happened) What maddens me is when people use XML to communicate with themselves. It is the biggest waste of bandwidth and processing power, when there are much simpler formats. Many years ago I took the XAjax library for PHP and re-wrote it without XML.. Using 2 simple delimiters instead, the code was 80% smaller. |
