XML in most cases is a pain in the ass to deal with relative to JSON and it isn't new or the rage anymore. A lot of hot technologies initially have this in common. They're so cool and flashy and new that everyone's willing to overlook the actual mechanics of working with them -- for a while. JSON is just more convenient to work with 90-95% of the time, so everyone ends up preferring it and so it tends to win out.
