No. Just .. no. On the off chance that you're serious about that - XML is a data format that encodes tree-like hierarchical information. But if your parser isn't already using a tree-like structure internally, you're doing something wrong. And if it is, there's absolutely no reason to use XML as some weird sort of intermediary stage.
