JSON Schema is a schema built on JSON and it’s already being used. Using XML would mean converting the XML into JSON schema to define the response from the LLM.

That said, JSON is “language neutral” but also super convenient for JavaScript developers and typically more convenient for most people than XML.

Maybe I missed a detail here, sorry if that's the case!

Why would we need to concert XML, which already supports schemas and is well understood by LLMs, back to JSON schema?

		Because most of the world uses JSON and has rich tooling for JSONSchemas, notable many LLM providers allow JSONSchemas to be part of the request when trying to get structured output

LLMs are not people.

We want a format for LLMs or for people?
