I hate writing and reading xml compared to json, I don’t really care if one is slightly leaner than the other. If your concern is the size or speed you should probably be rethinking how you serialize the data anyway (orotobuff/DB)
I mean we have a generation that thinks XML is bloated & JSON is superior but those two formats are about the same on performance & compressed size–which was the point. The non-plaintext-readable formats are superior along a lot of metrics but harder to debug & ultimately less common.
