Ajax on Java: XML and JSON for Ajax

Overview In particular, if one only has one data point, XML is overkill. But the fact is, most web applications deal with multiple data points: usernames, passwords, addresses, cities, states, zip codes, etc. In some cases, passing a string of delimited values may seem like the simplest approach, but using XML has advantages. For one thing, XML is self-documenting. During debugging, one can look at the XML string and see exactly what goes where; that is a luxury one won't have with a string of comma-separated values. Another reason for using XML is that an XML parser is built into most browsers. The parsing work has already been done; all one has to do is leverage the built-in parser.
