JSON vs XML
While both are used to store and transport data, JSON has largely replaced XML in modern web development due to its simplicity and performance.
| Feature | JSON | XML |
|---|---|---|
| Readability | High (Human-friendly) | Moderate (Verbose) |
| Data Types | Numbers, Booleans, Arrays | Everything is a String |
| Parsing Speed | Very Fast | Slower |
| Metadata | Not supported | Supported (Attributes) |
| Syntax | Braces & Brackets | Tags & Nesting |
JSON Example
{
"user": {
"name": "Alice",
"age": 30
}
}XML Example
<user>
<name>Alice</name>
<age>30</age>
</user>Convert Between Formats
