Hi Azeez, I remember we were having same kind of a discussion some time back, but couldn't find the thread :(
So before jumping to the JSON bandwagon, we have to evaluate the advantages we are hoping to gain by converting all files to JSON. Dont get me wrong I like json more than xml but that's mainly because we are using json effectively in javascript/jaggery. But in Carbon we don't get that advantage unless we are going to rewrite everything in maybe node (or something similar). For me personally XML is more human readable than JSON, and if you think about converting config files like identity.xml/carbon.xml etc we will have to invest some time and carefully design the JSON configs so it is simple and readable. So compared to the effort do we have enough advantages of doing this.
