OK, I'd accept JSON. I went with XML because IBM has "System XML", which can use a zIIP (or is it a zAAP?). Also, nothing on z/OS uses JSON at present. And there are not as many tools, such a XSLT, to process JSON (yet). Also, those same "hipster programmers" are switching to NoSQL due to SQL being "too slow" (and likely "too difficult"). Curiously, VSAM could validly be called a NoSQL database. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
