>>18297 (OP) first of all, markup and serialization formats are not fully interchangeable in purpose. second of all, what gave you the impression xml is deprecated technology? in the multimedia field alone you have XMLTV, DASH, TTML, and Matroska/WebM (binary XML). so in fact, probably the majority of the internet's traffic involves multiple XML-based formats.

>>18297 (OP) Ever used a .docx file? Change the file extension to .zip and then extract it. You will find folders upon folders of mostly .xml files. Cheers.

>>18297 (OP) Second Life viewer UI is all done in XML.

>>18297 (OP) Yes XML is fully deprecated and only retards still use it. See posts above proving my point.

>>18297 (OP) right click. view source. XML.

>>18432 html (without an X at the start) is not xml. however, svg is xml. so xml is indeed still used in the web A LOT

Plenty of government and e-commerce shit still use it Does json even have alternatives to XSD, XPath, XQuery, XSLT anyway?

>anything modern? >>18322 >>18323 >>18329 >>18432 >>18435 >>18437 >20+ year old formats and technology used them once boy oh boy I sure could use some cock

>>18437 JSON doesn't, there are other formats that do, but I don't see a reason they are particularly better than XML. The only people that think XML is deprecated in favor of JSON are frontend webshitters and people with PTSD from the everything-should-use-xml fad 20 years ago.

>>18437 There are dozens of JSON alternatives people invented for those but none of them are standardized through real institutions. On the other hand, JWT is almost formally standardized and shits on XMLDSig.

>>18507 .docx may be 18 years old, but it is still used today. And XML was indeed a good choice for the type of data docx is intended to store.

>>18435 imagine how much more efficient that vector image format could have been if it hadn't been shoehorned into a MARKUP language. see in SVG there's no text to mark up, it's all path data represented in a needlessly inefficient way. plus javascript because of course it needs javascript.

>>21419 TinyVG adoption would be much bigger if people were that bothered. but i have the feeling that even you, presenting an anti-SVG argument here, haven't even heard of TinyVG before now. i myself use efficient binary formats wherever possible. modern tools (like rust's derive macros) actually make switching between wire formats trivial. but that's often only relevant when you control both ends of the pipe, or when a format manages to get too popular i guess.

>>18297 (OP) Android projects use it extensively

Friendly reminder

>>21597 appealing to authority is retarded. appealing to an authority from an adjacent field is jeet-tarded. save that as a reminder.

>>21613 He's right. SGML wasn't half bad, it had features like shorttag/shortref/NET that made the source human-readable and editable. HTML was already a downgrade, as it inherited only auto closing tags. Worse, in the late 90s it wasn't standardized and unusable on mobile devices. So W3C made XML, which is even more painful to use but is simple enough that you could parse it on a PDA. XML for markup died as soon as mobile devices could run a full browser and HTML got an interoperable standard. Really it was stillborn because it never worked in IE.

>>21613 What have you done? Linus made an os and git; his authority is a valid argument.
