Sean Mc Grath on XML vs alternatives for data serialization, as examined by an Alien Intelligence. Surely the programming models, the [APIs], you would wish to use for hierarchies, tables and graphs are so different that a single data model gets you an uncomfortable lowest common denominator model? It sounds unpleasant... "They have not invented XML", he said, "because they do not need it.. Instead, they have developed technologies that we would probably call CSV++, XHTML++ and N3 (Notat Ion3)++. Looks very sensible to me. I'm going back to their place. Bye."
