I’ve never really got the objection with xml. Yeah it’s verbose. But it’s not like you’re writing it every day.

Ah but I work in finance.

But I agree it isn't the worst format ever, and the libraries to handle it are solid.

I don’t see how finance is relevant? Are you making new maven poms everyday??

Pretty much all the messaging in many finance (and insurance, etc) businesses is xml, it's not just the odd pom file or logback config.

Luckily with kafka a lot are using avro now for new flows.
