AI's take on XML
(lemmy.world)
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
IMHO: XML is a file format, JSON is a data transfer format. Reinventing things like RSS or SVG to use JSON wouldn't be helpful, but using XML to communicate between your app's frontend and backend wouldn't be either.
Yeah, json is not a good config format. As much as xml is not. Please use something like YAML or TOML.
I never moved away from ini I've just been sititng back watching you all re-invent the wheel over and over and over and over and over.
It's a wheel, it's supposed to turn over and over and over and infinitum!
/S (because it's big sarcasm instead of small.)
