Response to: Why AJAX at XML.com?
Kendall you said it - JSON is certainly not always faster. It depends greatly on various factors like the amount of data, what client side data processing has to be done, if knowledge of data types is needed, if you are consuming web services and so on. Particularly in IE you can choose either XML or JSON with a slight performance edge going to XML. I know that for our AJAX DataGrid product JavaScript is far to slow for things like client side sorting so XML + XSL is the only way to go.
