alt Hacker NewsThanks, that's interesting to know. Given that we have json schema now though, what reason would someone use XML over Json now?

JSON Schema is largely an answer to people seeking that type of built-in validation. As I'm not a huge proponent for either (a tool is a tool and you work with it in its ecosystem), I don't have personal feelings on it's adequacy.
But, I would suspect, proponents of XML would still point to it's deeper typing system, document structure (especially the hierarchical features of it), and extremely mature ecosystem + tooling (such as XSLTs) as reasons to prefer it over JSON w/ JSON Schema.
