I'm not going to argue that XML hasn't been used badly and excessively in a lot of places, it really has, and using every part of it religiously will tie you in knots, fast.
But I can't help noticing that Json is gaining more and more XML-like functionality through things like schemas and JsonPath, as people slowly realise why XML had those functions they're now having to replace. I'm a long way from convinced that all the engineering effort to switch was actually beneficial.
