One slash missing in xml, and the whole xml file is broken :)

I don't know what kind of data you want to store in the config file, but
I find strange that storing in JSON is much harder than in XML.
What if you expected a string and now you have a list of tags?

Maybe the problem is the way you are trying to read the information.


PS: Have you seen the grammar at http://json.org/ ?
You also have a list of implementations there which you could use.
