Why? JSON should just be for data transfers. XML is for document formats. While the lines get seriously blurred that is there general use.

Agreed, for long running data sets you really want schemas.
There are Json schema implementations out there.
There are but XML schemas are well understood, standardized and have been around for a long time. Even if they did this project today, XML is the right choice due to its maturity and suitability for documents.
