| Aug 30, 2013 at 11:43 | comment | added | thorsten müller | Well, depends totally on the constraints of your project. Actually XML may add so much overhead that the tags take more size than the data itself, similar for JSON. So if size is an issue you PL may have a point. Processing those formats is only easy if there are good libraries for your tool chain, so again this may or may not be a reason. If you just want to drop some data agains a server then simple CSV may have it's place. Without more details this may become difficult to answer. | |
