Maybe one reason is its verbosity for small everyday tasks, like config files or when representing arrays. If xml allowed empty tags there probably would be no need for json.
- forty 1y agoEmpty tag as in <tag /> ?
- amy_petrik 1y agoThat's a bit confusing to me, I don't understand. I think that type of tagging can be ambiguous. Just to suggest a better construct: <tag type="tag" class="tag" purpose="tag" tag_subtype="empty" description="this is a emptytag, a subtype of tag" empty="true"></tag> Now, that's not perfect, I would even describe it as minimalist, but I hope it sets you in the right direction!
