As for "running for office", I wish this community had positions for market leaders. Sure, I'd run ... whatsit pay? ;) Seriously, if any of these MV DBMS companies, or even Spectrum, had a position for "MultiValue Evangelist", I'd probably apply. But they don't - and here we are. :( Danny – you’re right on topic for Part 2, coming (I hope) sometime this week.

This is because a single developer generally controls both client and server, and there is no need for schema. However when you're exchanging data among trading partners, XML and related XSD documents are still the standard. You can also serialize documents and spreadsheets to XML as defined by schema, not JSON. And schema like DocBook are commonly used to exchange documents across the internet when people have no idea what software will be used to process it or how the data will be used. You also can't do transformations on JSON with XSLT or parse through it with XPath or XQuery. In short, JSON has its place, and I may blog about that too in relation to MV, but I don't think we're going to outgrow XML anytime in the next few decades.

You should have a look at it, it's so simple and efficient ! I’m just experiencing transfer between MV and languages like javascript, java or php and my best solution is json.
