title: Which format should I choose to request API in C# - JSON or XML
body: <p>I'm requesting data from a REST API in C#. The API offers me the same data in a JSON and XML format.</p>
  
  <p>For which one should I go? It's <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4596465/is-parsing-json-faster-than-parsing-xml">clear</a> which one I would choose in JavaScript. <strong>But what in C#?</strong> Are there any performance benefits to help me choose one over the other in C# or any good-practice reasons?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
