You can define types in JSON too if really want to. XML and JSON is just one big string after all. It's all down to you how to de-serialize it. JSON has some built in "standards", if you can call it that. With XML you have define that yourself, in some specific way to your specific tools. With JSON, an integer makes sense between a Python and Ruby program.

Also, XML is extremely verbose.
