XML is perfectly fine. What are these alternatives?

YAML is just bad. JSON is harder to read for deeply nested structures. TOML and the like don't have enough features.

XML is pretty fantastic for a lot of things that JSON is not up to the task for. And YAML ... has it's own, special issues.

Maybe ASN.1? Although that has an official XML encoding so maybe not.
