Difference between json and xml

JSON Advantages

• Simple syntax, which results in less "markup" overhead compared to XML.

• Easy to use with JavaScript as the markup is a subset of JS object literal notation and has the same basic data types as JavaScript.

• JSON Schema for description and data type and structure validation

• Supports Objects, array, data types etc..

• Light weight for exchanging data..

XML Advantages

• Generalized markup; it is possible to create "dialects" for any kind of purpose

• Built in support for name-spaces

• XML Schema for data type, structure validation. Makes it also possible to create new data types.
