JSON is better than XML for that, but in my opinion, both are
unnecessary. Python code is easy to edit. (See [1] for more on Python
and XML.) When you're writing compiled code, it makes good sense to
drop out of code and use a simple text file when you can; but when
your code *is* a simple text file, why go to the effort of making a
JSON-based window builder? (Unless you already have one. GladeXML may
well be exactly what you want, in which case, go ahead and use it. But
personally, I don't.) JSON is a fantastic format for transmitting
complex objects around the internet; it's compact (unlike XML),
readable in many languages (like XML), easily readable by humans
(UNLIKE XML!), and can represent all the most common data structures
(subtly, XML can't technically do this). It's superb at what it
does... but it doesn't do Python GUIs. For those, use Python itself.
