There just happens to be an XML parsing lib in Clojure proper because it's a useful thing to have. There is a JSON parser in Clojure Contrib. There's another one floating around too, if I'm not mistaken. > On another note, wouldn't Clojure itself or rather a subset of clojure > be best to represent data? So to say something like CON? This is certainly possible and if you control both the reader and the writer, I would argue it's the best way to go. For interoperability with other services, however, I don't think there's any getting away from XML and JSON in the near future. > Or do I miss something that makes it important for Clojure to be > bundled so tightly with XML? > I don't see any tight bundling between Clojure and XML.
