Re: Is xml overhyped?

I agree with Phlip.

But you shouldn't learn XML now. Stick with simple text formats, until
you understand the basics of text-based file formats. Get comfortable
with text reading, writing, structuring, matching (important) and parsing
(even more important) first, before you learn XML.

Regards.
