No. Just .. no.

On the off chance that you're serious about that - XML is a data format that encodes tree-like hierarchical information.

But if your parser isn't already using a tree-like structure internally, you're doing something wrong.

And if it is, there's absolutely no reason to use XML as some weird sort of intermediary stage.
