Uh-huh... ever tried to integrate with a poorly implement WCF service? Like communication from a Java service to a dotnet service through a WSDL?

I'll take a json API over XML any day

I’m not sure that’s the fault of XML though.

It’s more the fault of the implementation and documentation.

We have a WCF service with an odd configuration and nobody has been able to integrate with it that didn’t use Microsoft tools. It’s definitely not XML’s fault.

(That service has been replaced with a REST API now)

Yea sure. Though it's slightly XMLs fault for allowing that kinda implementations. Every random thing is in it's own obscure namespace with 20 levels of nested objects in different namespaces, and if you get anything wrong it barely explains what's wrong, and just refuses to work.

It's mostly WCFs fault. I just automatically associate XML with nightmare flashbacks of implementing WCF stuff
