I'd agree with this critique of XML, but not JSON. Easy to yacc-up a parser, a fair number of implementations out there, and lots of web browser support. A reasonably straightforward mapping from the JSON to a tree of (key, entry) pairs, unlike say the XML dom with its namespaces, intermingled text elements with other things, the duopoly of attributes and elements.
