Which is true for the majority of all XML files I've ever come across in the wild.

I think XML only makes sense if your data is heavily tree-like

In that case, why not use JSON?

JSON spreads out tree nodes vertically (with all the attributes), whereas in XML it's usually one node per line, ie. more compact I suppose. This is just my very niche opinion though
