JSON vs. XML: The battle for format supremacy may be wasted energy - SD Times

This article seems silly. Perhaps I missed something important.

I'm not sure who's still litigating the JSON vs. XML, but it seems like it's more-or-less done.

XHTML/XML for HTML things.

JSON for everything else.

Maybe there are people still wringing their hands over this. AFAIK, the last folks using SOAP/XML services are commercial and governmental agencies where change tends to happen very slowly.

I remember when Sun Microsystems was a company and had the Java Composite Applications Suite. Very XML. That was -- perhaps -- ten years ago. Since then, I think the problem has been solved. I'm not sure who's battling for supremacy or why.
