Nice quickie. But a few things:

*Neither JSON nor XML are "datatypes" as you say.*

Both are Data Interchange Formats (DIF). JSON implies a representation of structured data, but only if one knows thee meaning ("semantics") implied by that representation.

The only "datatype" fundamentally that can be recognized in JSON are strings delimited by double quote marks. JSON requires turning into strings both the metadata and the data.

XML does the same but in terrible way. XML creators operated under stupidity assuming that declarative markup is the right way to exchange information (data with meaning) between computers through a network.

Instead of quoting data as strings, XML quotes metadata in angle brackets and worse, duplicates the metadata.
