There are a lot of APIs out there that are still XML-based, especially from enterprise suppliers.
Equifax and Experian’s APis immediately come to mind as documents that generate complex results that people often want to turn into some type of visual representation with XSLT.
I see a lot of XML APIs and formats around me, it is true. But it is machine-machine formats or complex configuration files formats which doesn't need visualization. It needs schema support and tooling, but not visualization or transformation. It is more serialization formats for complex object trees, and all processing is done on these object trees, not XML itself.
But of course, I see only a part of the picture.
