Thanks for the mention! We continue to invest in Hyperview to solve many of the problems presented in the article.

One big difference: instead of JSON, we use XML to represent the UI. XML is a hypermedia format with built-in extensibility, which makes it a good fit for server-driven UIs. We wrote about this decision here: https://engineering.instawork.com/when-xml-beats-json-ui-lay...

Thank you adam for your sane decision to use XML instead of JSON as hypermedia format.

there are still people bitching about things that don't matter like this? They have the same semantics and choosing between them is arbitrary. Json can be enforced with a schema but I doubt this is your concern.
