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
