Well, whether XML is really a pretty lousy language is highly subjective. It depends a lot on what you need to do (I could go into detail in a separate thread).

I've wound up writing several web services that supply the same data in either XML or JSON. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
