I looked at info on different messaging software the other day and came
across "Jobber" which is "open source".
What distinguishes it doesn't seem to be a new technology or philosophy
but the fact that it's all XML: header information, the message itself
and client-server control data.
XML has great advantages at operating with data which is displayed but I
never understood the usefulness of it when it comes to managing data
"behind the scene".
Why would one use "<username>andu</username>" instead of "username:
andu" and stuff like that in a header? Same goes for webDav. The
overhead of parsing and transmitting at least twice the length of data
seems unacceptable to me.
I'd like to hear what other people think on this subject.
