    Which one would you prefer to load data? I heard recently JSON is the better of the two, but I've also been told XML was. Which one do you think is better for loading data, and why?

    Json is just faster in my opinion, I'm not sure how much either can do but I'm enjoying Json far more for whatever reason... However this is a rather lack of Json plugins for eclipse which im sad about.

    Pretty sure JSON is faster, but I'm not growing too fond of it, don't really like the naming conventions and if you plan on releasing work, people will need to download the JSON external library and put it on eclipse (assuming they use eclipse) and most people don't know how and will be too lazy to figure it out.

    The problem with XML is that it's a lot of text in comparison to the data it holds. Loading speeds shouldn't be a problem with any, since you're loading it all on startup anyway.

    My preference lies with neither of the two. I use YAML for smaller configurations (events, etc.) and binary for the rest of it, with a small tool to update it if needed.

    I probably won't be releasing JSON work.

    I find it funny to see how people say binary data is bad and making a GUI application to manage it is too much work, but then spend twice the time needed to make such a thing discussing which non-binary format is the best.

    JSON seems much simpler but the XML layout is much more tidier in my opinion.
