Well I have nothing specific against JSON. I do believe XML is more readable though.
The things I am serializing are similar to "game levels" and only get loaded in once when the app starts. So performance and bytes transferred are not an issue, however readability is because I'd like to make it easy for people to create levels with a template.

Apparently there will be SOAP serialization in a future version (that is what I understood ). You can of course do your own XML serialization/deserialization since you have access to an XmlReader and XmlWriter. Also, IMO you should try to avoid XML serialization between client and server as it is pretty expensive in both number of bytes being transferred and processing to serialize and deserialize. JSON is significantly faster. What reason would you have to use XML over JSON? Or a better question would be what is wrong with JSON?

It doesn't seem to be present in the restricted SL namespaces. Any ideas? Also, SL 1.0 released. Doesn't mean much for me but ScottGu blogged about it and the SilverLIght media encoder 1.0 as well.
