Out of the 50 email messages about
ConciseXML, almost all of the
comments
have been of the
sort:
"but ConciseXML is not XML 1.0!".
Although this is a true
statement,
how about any comments on the two
key problems that ConciseXML fixes
that
are reoccuring issues across the
industry.
1. XML 1.0 is verbose and is not
suitable
for many applications that people
would
like to use it for.
People invent new
syntax all the time to avoid XML
1.0.
For example, XPATH, XQuery,
string
encodings, CSV data,
etc.
2. There is not a single way in XML 1.0 to
represent data fields that have a key and value
where the key can be any type
and the value
can be any type.
