I will die on the hill that XML is a superior config format and people are just afraid of it cause they see the advanced features (that you don't need to use) and think it's too complicated.

Then maybe you should go ahead and write a brutally messed up but somehow ubiquitous scripting language that just somehow has its object instanciations look exactly like xml so those files can be imported right into scripts that then somehow turn into full blown server applications so xml gets the same attention as Json.

I'll call it XMLlamascript

I'm so looking forward to it.

Don't forget to add a "package management" service that at first glance makes importing XMLlamascript modules super easy but at second glance takes down the Internet after you piss off a random maintainer before then turning into a malware distribution engine.

I'd have a much easier time with XML if I could feed it a json schema or something similar so my editor knows the format it should be in.

Like an XSD file?

This looks exactly like what I am looking for. Thank you!
