I doubted this aswell in the beginning. What is so brilliant about XML?
Well I started my project on expanding jabber for further features and I
must admit, that I have grow very found of XML.
It is so nice to have an open standard of data represantation. It's
really easy to get into and even easyier to expand for further features.
I managed to just add some children to some IQ packets etc.
It would have been hell with a non standard data format used by other
IMs.

You can parse XML on the fly rather easy with the standard parser:
javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
If you look around there are plenty of guides to implement this.
