We were using XML for that before JSON.

Yes and it is a good thing we don’t anymore.

Why? JSON hasn’t given us anything XML hasn’t, except maybe a bit of terseness.

I do agree SOAP is a bit over engineered, though, but that’s not the fault of XML.

As a pentester, if I see XML in HTTP I start crying.

XML is much more annoying to read/write by hand
