I agree on this point. XML is not something worth to be integrated into a language. It’s not well designed in the beginning from software design point of view. Except big companies support it, I don't think many developers like it after intensively using it. Now a lot of companies have realize the issues with XML (XSLT especially) and move away from XML hell after waste large amount of money. In my opinion, XML will become legacy technology in the near future. People will only use it because the old system needs it. Hope it won't pollute a pure, neat language like java.
Actually we can learn some ideas from groovy builder. Which supports generic tree like hierachy structure build in the language level. But don't need to be specific for XML. XML should just be one use case of this generic builder mechanism. |
