There’s nothing wrong with using XML if it solves your problem. There’s nothing wrong with not using XML if it isn’t the best option for solving your problem.
If you want to store data in an a format which is easy to query, then XML is not a bad option. If you’re look for space efficiency, XML is not a good option. If you are looking for cross-platform features, XML is a no-brainer compared to binary formats.
JSON is another option which is very simple and very lightweight.
In short, it depends on your requirements. If you want more direction you’ll have to give more information.
