Hello Peter, Just because you mentioned config files. What would you suggest me as better format for them? Database is not available yet since I need to make a config file before creating a database. -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile My blog: http://oire.org/menelion (mostly in Russian) Twitter: http://twitter.com/m_elensule Facebook: http://facebook.com/menelion ------------ Original message ------------ From: Peter Lind <peter.e.lind@xxxxxxxxx> To: Per Jessen Date created: , 10:27:09 PM Subject: XML... Useful or another layer of complexity? Like every other technology, XML needs to have a use before it becomes a useful tool. Just using XML because it's available quickly leads to headaches, as it isn't the best tool for all scenarios (config files written in XML for instance). That said, XML is awesome for a lot of things ... however, without having a better grasp of XML you're unlikely to know whether it'll fit your needs. If for no other reason, learning XML and related technologies is worth it simply because the rest of the world uses it. So get to know it, then you'll be able to actually judge if your project can benefit from it.
