    The worst thing is if you have to remember the XML syntax for a specifig Problem, because it is going to be a question in your next Test..

    whats wrong with xml?
    as long as you have the schema and a decent text editor with auto-completion and code folding, it's pretty straight forward. also bonus points for zen coding.

    @timihg Actually nothing wrong with it because of autocompletion and copy+paste. It's just too verbose IMO and looks uggly as hell.

    true, but what other options are out there? usually i prefer json for data exchange and configuration as long as the data is not too large and complicated. transforming json to xml is also a trivial task, in most cases.

    XML is used and will be used for a long time. It's industry standard to use XML when delivering music and video from labels to Apple, Google etc.

    PHPUnit uses it, nothing wrong with it.
