XML is complete structured notation when JSON in a simple context free grammar. XML was developped in order to allow a transferable translation for databases with query languages (like XPATH and XQUERY), whereas JSON does not have a query language. It is not possible to represent recursive structures in JSON. The guys from google wrote an XML parser in Javascript which is used for Google Maps. In Google maps all the data that is transferred is represented in XML format which is parsed at the client and constructed the map. There are many reasons why XML is better than JSON.
