As sure as the sun rising is impedance mismatch in the development world. Ted Neward explains:
XML will start to lose its luster. People are finally beginning to see the object-hierarchical impedance mismatch, and realize that "objects" and "XML" don't, in fact, go together like peanut butter and chocolate. More like apple cider and wine, if you ask me. XML will continue to be in demand, but on its own, as a data format, rather than as "another way to express an object".
As if relational databases weren't enough, now we have trees to deal with :)
