No way around XML. A must have, as has been said in this
thread. But what would you suggest as a better alternative to
XML. It might be worth creating modules for alternative too
(like JSON).
We already have a std.json in Phobos for years now. I think it'd
be great for Phobos to nudge users in better directions, by
having a std.json but no std.xml. There'll always be outside
libraries to process XML, for those who can't go without, perhaps
a list of XML libraries can be added to the wiki:

I see no use for XML, as it's a horrible solution in search of a
problem, but for those who must use it, they can always get it
outside Phobos. Just a suggestion.
