XML or JSON?

Hello,

Which one works on more browsers or is more reliable...XML or JSON. I need this to work on as many browsers as possible.

Is there a reason to use XML instead of JSON? (JSON is faster than XML, but are there any good reasons to stick with XML)

Thanks!

It depends on what you want to do. I primarily use XML files for settings and configuration. I use JSON to send information between the browser and server.

As far as support, you'll get more mileage out of JSON. Since every browser supports JavaScript, JSON is inherently supported.
