That's an apples and oranges argument. I am willing to predict that XForms + XQuery will become a powerful enterprise model for rich form content, because the enterprise is considerably more XML-centric than the consumer stack is. I'm willing to predict that JSON feeds to most mashups will likely end up being a mix of XML (primarily via feeds) and JSON for quite some time, though I'm inclined to suspect that AtomPub will likely tilt the balance of power towards XML in the long run.]]></description></item><item><title>Does XML Have a Future on the Web?</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://xml.sys-con.com/read/481198.htm</guid><link>http://xml.sys-con.com/read/481198.htm</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jan 2008 08:00:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://xml.sys-con.com/read/481198_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[A more interesting question is 'Is XML on the web trending up or trending down?' Clearly, it is trending down. For data transfer applications, XML is losing ground to JSON because JSON is simply a better data transfer format. And XHTML has failed to displace HTML in the marketplace. The benefit of clientside validation has proven to not be a benefit. I think you can argue, and in fact I did argue, that because of W3C's adventures with XML, the web itself may not have a future. The browser has a lot of problems, the worst of which are the security problems that came with Netscape Navigator 2. That was 12 years ago, and there has been no progress since that time in fixing the fundamental problems. There have been lots of patches on top of patches. Nothing more.]]></description></item><item><title>Can RSS &amp; XML Help Us Build the Data Web?</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://xml.sys-con.com/read/361296.htm</guid><link>http://xml.sys-con.com/read/361296.htm</link><pubDate>Tue, 08 Jan 2008 04:15:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://xml.sys-con.com/read/361296_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[Now let's consider the most-seen AJAX powered mashup: modifications of map sites, adding real estate pictures and locations to a map, for example. This sort of thing would be made a lot easier and accessible if the real estate agents published an RSS-like feed of properties, along with their GPS coordinates and prices. Even in this limited scope the possibilities are endless, a burger chain could publish the locations of its restaurants, or news bulletins could come attached with markers. Planes, trains, and - well, possibly - automobiles could be tracked and tacked onto maps. Want to see where the roadworks are on your journey?
