Google has stated that XML is not efficient enough to encode all data formats. To wit, it has resurrected the Interface Definition Language and binary format for data inter-change.
Googel-made code is available @ http://tinyurl.com/5d4bs5.
The product is called Protocol Buffers and is released under the Apache 2.0 open-source license.
Developers can define data structures using the definition language, producing .proto class files. Current language support is limited to C++. See Kenton Varda @ https://tinyurl.com/5hlyd9
