Hmm, I wouldn't want the overhead of an XML-streaming parser for M2M.
Also XML makes it very easy for humans to read and debug the
communication, a streaming XML-parser isn't that ideal for M2M.
I can't believe that it's the end of 2013, I can play multiplayer 3D
games with realistic textures smoothly in my browser over a
low-latency fibre-optic connection direct to my home, data centres now
internally have 1, 10, or 100 Gigabit links, and people are STILL
complaining about the "overhead" of XML (quoted because nobody ever
seems to provide numbers to back up this statement[1]). And if we're
talking about low-power embedded devices, even the latest Arduino
boards run Linux now.
And even in 2013 you don't want to harm people because your Linux system
has gone crazy or your jvm decided to make a gc. Maybe we are talking
about different types of machines, but I do associate machines often
with stuff which has to be treated carefully.
Anyway, the tone of your response just proved how unfriendly some parts
of the XMPP community seem to have become.
