Which one is better between JSON and XML..? Why..?
But JSON doesn't use an end tag, JSON is shorter, quicker to read and write, and can use an array. But XML doesn't have these features. So, we can come to a point that JSON is much better than XML in most cases.
Answer: JSON is faster and better because it is designed specifically for data interchange. JSON encoding is terse, which requires less bytes for transit. JSON parsers are less complex, which requires less processing time and memory overhead. XML is slower, because it is designed for a lot more than just data interchange.
Answer: JSON is Better Then XML......
JSON data model’s structure matches the data: JSON’s data structure is a map, whereas XML is a tree. Although a map (just key/value pairs)Screen_Shot_2014-08-21_at_2.19.18_PM can be limiting, that’s what we want, because it is easier to interpret and is predictable.
In code: Items are represented the same way in code. In many languages, especially dynamic ones, you can just ‘slurp in the JSON’ and you immediately have your domain object. It is easy to go from objects in JSON to the objects in code because they align. When going from objects in XML to objects in code they do not align and there is a lot of room for interpretation.
JSON is limiting, but that’s a good thing: JSON is limited in terms of what objects can be modeled. Some may think XML is better because more objects can be modeled and it doesn’t prohibit developers. But even though JSON prohibits developers, it is in a positive way, making the code simpler, more predictable, and easy to read. XML can be formatted to look and function any way a company wants, but it makes it difficult for developers to read, understand, and convert. In most cases people believe XML is better because developers can do anything under the sun but in the age of simplifying, less is more, making JSON a better alternative.
