Re: [xml-dev] How long before services sending/receiving XML mightneed r

[Hans-Juergen Rennau <hrennau@yahoo.de>]

Hi Stephen, this is only an aspect, not more: validation. JSON Schema is powerful, but I think there are three disadvantages: first, it is not yet a finalized standard; second, its implementations are not yet as mature as XSD validators; third, JSON Schema is not so much a document modeling language as XSD is; JSON Schemas can be written in ways that make it difficult, if not impossible, to derive a structure model (or grammar) of valid documents. (Sounds paradoxical, but isn't: the schema maps any document to valid or not, but does not clearly imply the structure of a valid document.)

With kind regards,

Hans-Jürgen

Hi XML Dev’ers,

Do you have any opinion on how long software systems communicating with each other (one-way or two-way) using XML might be able to continue to use XML this way? If, say, governments currently require data or documents to be sent to them in XML format, what professional advice would you suggest about how long would be reasonable before this use of XML should be replaced? Or do you think such uses of XML could reasonably be perpetual? 

Many thanks for your consideration.

Stephen Green
