XML is not great for generating or parsing, but we have nvlist infrastructure in the kernel and a nice library (and a less-nice library that you have to use if you link libzfs{core}) in base. I would love to see more interfaces to the kernel switch to using nvlists. They should be the default for *any* new kernel interface that isn’t 100% performance critical. Certainly any system-reporting or control-plane interfaces should be using nvlists.
