Hi Folks, I am putting together a list of differences between XML and JSON. Below is the list that I currently have. Are there other differences, that I haven’t listed? JSON is often compared to XML. However, there are significant differences:
-
XML supports comments, JSON does not.
-
XML supports processing instructions, JSON does not.
-
XML provides multiple syntaxes to express things (e.g., attribute values can be delimited by either a single or double quote, attributes can be in any order), JSON does not have such flexibility.
-
XML uses canonicalization to convert the XML into a standard form, JSON does not need canonicalization since multiple forms are not allowed.
-
XML has namespaces, JSON does not. Any other differences? /Roger |
