When I could just send it as:
5
That makes no sense. I know what I'm sending, and I know what I'm receiving. Hell, even if you have the nice little descriptors in XML, you still have to send/receive in some kind of agreed upon format.
If someone was expecting to receive:
<XML>
<thisisdata>
<TimesIFuckedYourMother>
<Daily>
<5>
</Daily>
</TimesIFuckedYourMother>
</thisisdata>
</xml>
It wouldn't work.
On top of that, you have a massive amount of descriptive data that you have to send (waste), and you also have the massive overhead of parsers. XML is, by and large, pretty fucking lame. Hell, I use W2K, but I'm not that much of a fucking sucker to believe every goddamned MS whitepaper that I read.

You said "I was a developer for years", and have been long before I was in diapers.
Good for you.
Most of the old fucking programmers I meet have no clue about the platforms of today. You sound like one of them.
XML Web Services are HEAVYLY pushed by Java and MS.
They are the future of development.
Do some research bud.
Let me know when you catch up to speed ya old fuck.
