@j thanks for your reply! I read in the article that XMPP is the protocol and that it uses XML, not that XML is a protocol.
Apart from that, for me it is nice (interesting) that XMPP is still today an option for instant messages -

"#XML-Based Messaging: #XMPP uses XML …, making it … verbose compared to other modern protocols."
And:
"Designed for large-scale federation, but XML verbosity can increase resource usage in high-traffic scenarios."
Real world scenarios show, that this "verbosity" does not have relevant impact, incl. in high-traffic applications, b/c other overhead, such as TLS.
I wonder, if @hanez did any measurements, or which evidence they have?

This #myth about #XML "verbosity" is as hard to fight as #antivax, I guess

In general, the comparison does sound like collected statements from the net, but not being based on own experience and experiments.
Which is OK. There is always room for meta analysis. In any case, it would be better to have references for all the statements made.
