Conclution in therms of compacting XML and JSON are appr. the same and in terms of readability JSON has an advantage over XML IMHO.
Avalible amount and quality of libs to many language appr. the same.
Both XML and JSON are defined in XMPP spec.

Subject: MultiUser Q. state package using XML vs. JSON

Hi

We are planning to transfere states between X3D clients using XML or shold we look at JSON http://json.org/ .
We will use gzip for compressing state packages.

Does't seems to descreese the package size using JSON but IMHO JSON package are easier to read.

Any comments?
