Great overview on data formats, thanks Calvin. Will be focusing my attention to JSON outputs going forward.

Only source that explains relevance of XML and JSON data formats to networking. Every other source is about their usage in programming.

Thanks Calvin, you made it easy to understand!

Hey hi, you said there is no concept of the list in XML, but it is possible by using Spring Dependency Injection like Property Injection and Constructor-arg injection.
<Property>
<List>
<Value>1</Value>
<Value>2</Value>
</List>
</Property>

XML looks a lot like HTML. Is that what "Markup Language" is referring to?

[BalancedMentality]

Well XML can do much more.
You can have Tags inside.
You can have an empty Tag, which closes directly with an atribute.
<MyTag MyAtribute="Test"/>

Also it should be mentioned that there is XSD and XSLT. There are 1000 page books about xml, so there can be much more to XML, then what you shown here.
