Short list; JSON pros over XML; * Most of the time less verbose * Parsing much faster and less resource intensive XML pros over XML * Namespaces In my current main project (Qi4j) we rely quite heavily on JSON, and at the same time we want as few dependencies as possible. Solution; Copy-Paste an implementation into our sources. It isn't rocket science to get JSON right. That said; I leave it to you guys to work what you want.
