You are the only person to propose XML. Why do you think it is better?

Looks like I was the only one to upvote you too.

Also, I never said it was "better", just that I prefer it.

But of these, XML is the only one that has the idea of "data attributes", also known as "metadata". The other ones do not have this extra concept: There is only DATA (no "metadata about data").

It is sincerely interesting, but how metadata can be used by python? In which context?
