Structured data storage.

Yes.
This doesn't deserve its own thread, but whatever.

Does it matter? *sniff*

most java projects still use maven and with maven comes pom.xml

brap/smell/sniff posters should be banned on sight
It's no different than pony or furfags with their degenerate fetishes.
No I don't care if it's 'ironic xDDD'

This, but unironically. It's getting old.

lmao have you seen the state of Jow Forums?

It's still one of the best tools for structured document markup, such as with DocBook, DITA, or S1000D.

Relevant to what? Why does so many posters on Jow Forums write in the most vague terms?
Caleb Sullivan
Android apps work with it
Atom/RSS are basically it
Wayland works with generated XML files on the fly

Hasn't it been superceded by JSON? I don't get the advantage of XML over it if it has any (not trolling).
Brandon Ward
The e stands for extensible.
I mean the x.
xml format is whatever what uses it wants it to be.
Nathaniel Foster
yes, it still is

See . XML works well with this kind of document markup, especially when there's a lot of mixed content (blocks of text with semantic tags mixed in).

You can't replace XML. Prove me wrong.
Ethan Wood
Well, a good XML processor will validate the file according to its associated schema. I don't think JSON has any similar validation system.
In any case, openoffice files, and modern ms office files are all XML based.
Asher Wright
Do you like REST? Good luck doing HATEOAS with JSON

XML is a verbose mistake, most of what its use cases could be replaced by json, and I hope people will wake up one day and move to sexpressions. They can represent everything XML can but don't look like shit. XML always felt like not being able to see the forest from all the trees.

those js and/or python code monkeys think that their format is superior.

Data structures that are human and machine readable.

It's a standard.

It has separate attributes from children nodes. Compared to json where everything is an attribute it allows more expressiveness.
However, every attribute and text content is a string. No way to directly define numbers or booleans. And there's no easy way to know if should be foo.bar or foo.bars[0] unless you manually map the xml to classes.
