title: XML vs JSON. Which one is better for storing small chunk of data?
body: <p>I want to store some small chunk of data and don't want to go for any database, we have two choices <code>XML</code> and <code>JSON</code>, now anyone can please suggest which one should I select from performance and architecture point of view.</p>
  
  <p><strong>1. which is better to use? XML or JSON for storing data?</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>2. What are the pros and cons for both JSON and XML?</strong></p>
  
  <p>any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><em>EDIT</em></p>
  
  <p>We are not using any web service, our application is a stand alone app. We want to use XML or JSON for storing some local data which will be used in the application. The data would be like details of questions and answers, static userdetails etc.</p>
