    This document compares XML and JSON data formats. XML was created in 1996 as an extensible markup language to represent hierarchical data structures, while JSON was invented in 2001 as an alternative and represents hierarchical data using commas, braces and brackets. Some key differences are that JSON is based on JavaScript, supports arrays but not namespaces, and is easier to read than XML, which uses tags and supports namespaces, comments and various encodings.

    • XML stands for “extensible markup language”.

    • XML was designed in 1996 and officially became a W3C standard

    in 1998.

    • It was created to better represent data formats with a hierarchical

    structure.

    • It was invented in 2001 and became popularized by Yahoo and

    Google in 2005 and 2006.

    • It was created as an alternative to XML. Like XML, however, it

    represents hierarchical data with the use of commas, curly braces and

    brackets.
