Either choice is fine, and preferable over the current format that doesn't lend itself well for automatic processing. Personally, I'd prefer XML over JSON for this type of information. For one you can actually define a schema (XSD) with significant tooling support for validation, processing and code generation in all major languages, XML is easily transformable to other formats (XSLT). The only downside is that XML is more bulky than JSON, but I think the advantages outweigh this.
