Dialect differences
Both JSON and XML are file formats, so what differs below is how each one chooses to represent a value.
| Property | in JSON | in XML |
|---|---|---|
| identifiers | Double quotes; backslash escapes | Attribute values in quotes; entities (& < >) for ... |
| dates | No date type: dates arrive as strings and the reader must p... | Text (xs:date / xs:dateTime when an XSD is in play) |
| binary | Not supported natively - base64 inside a string | base64Binary / hexBinary inside text |
| separator | Braces and commas | Tags, not delimiters |
| encoding | UTF-8 by definition | Declared in the XML declaration |
| typing | string, number, boolean, null, object, array - no date type | None in the markup itself |
| shape | Nested objects and arrays | Arbitrary tree |
