Of course, that's true... but sometimes you will need XML parsing /
writing (btw. I tested writing with ezxml and it works fine, ( I also
tested for memory leaks) )

Is it really more lightweigt? How would you access JSON from C? I think
this doesn't really make much difference. At least, when accessed from C. 
In JavaScript, JSON is nice to use. I think it's really better to use JSON
for Object serialization / de-serialization than XML. It's a no brainer to
create JAvaScript Objects from JSON. I believe creating JavaScript objects
from XML involves a lot more code...
