I think you have it backward. Libraries like zod exist _because_ JSON is so ubiquitous. Someone could just as easily implement a zod for XML. I’m not a huge proponent of XML (hard to write, hard to parse), but what you describe are not technical limitations of the format.
replyI think that you're missing that the parent poster and I are implicitly assuming that XML is validated the most common way, i.e. with XSD, and that I'm comparing XSD validation and Zod.
replyAh that’s fair. So the discussion is about the quality of the validation libraries?
