Both XML and JSON use structured approaches to mark up data. For example, an address book application might provide a Web service that yields address cards in this XML format:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<card>
   <fullname>Sean Kelly</fullname>
   <org>SK Consulting</org>
   <emailaddrs>
      <address type='work'>[email protected]</address>
      <address type='home' pref='1'>[email protected]</address>
   </emailaddrs>
   <telephones>
      <tel type='work' pref='1'>+1 214 555 1212</tel>
      <tel type='fax'>+1 214 555 1213</tel>
      <tel type='mobile'>+1 214 555 1214</tel>
   </telephones>
   <addresses>
      <address type='work' format='us'>1234 Main St
         Springfield, TX 78080-1216</address>
      <address type='home' format='us'>5678 Main St
         Springfield, TX 78080-1316</address>
   </addresses>
   <urls>
      <address type='work'>http://seankelly.biz/</address>
      <address type='home'>http://seankelly.tv/</address>
   </urls>
</card>
