Response to: XML for chess

I agree that PGN is a very good format for computer systems, it is not really suited for use with XML, although many apps - including mine - use XML formats for data transfer.


XML is a common data standard, so converting PGN / whatever to an XML format will make it easier for non PGN gurus who are building applications for Chess to have a better grasp on the data file.


One of the reasons I did not use PGN and opted for XML is that my Javascript based app can easily read an XML file, but any other format is a lot more complex.
