XML is 80-90% overhead. All that metadata built into each and every
document is largely unnecessary fluff. If you control both ends of the
transaction, it is better to use some other format. Just my own
personal opinion.

OK, but how do you parse the JSON? There are all kinds of choices for
parsing XML including built into the RPG language. Hard for me to
believe that XML has that much overhead.

Good point about using messages, but see how streamlined JSON is;
addressing your concerns about performance (generating and parsing XML).
Simple Variable:
"hello world"
Basic Array:
["a","b","c",4,5,"six"]
Basic Object (name-value pairs):
{"firstName":"John","lastName":"Doe"}
Object Array:
":"Smith"},{"firstName":"Peter","lastName":"Jones"}]
list
2-Dimensional Basic Array:
[["one","two","three"],["four","five","six"],["seven","eight","nine"
]]
