But you have more tools in your hand if you dont invent your own format. There are more abstraction layers used in xml. If you think over it you often have to invent such abstraction layers in your proprietary format too. With the difference it has to be invented from every new programmer every time he has to code a new type of information. If you write down a rule how such coding should work (e.g. every new tupel is finished by a <cr>-sign) you are following a similar way, the xml-developers did. greetings Sammy | ||||||
