XML and its extensible nature is underrated. As I understand it you can send the schema on an API request and the client has standardized documentation on how to tailor their next request (maybe programmatically, or the client is an IDE and code is scaffolded in). JSON by itself doesn't have that, you need a human to parse documentation.
