Um, sounds like we're comparing apples, avocados and hasty pudding.
Dang--put data into a data stream and it fills right up. 8-)

Apple pie tastes as good as apples; apple pie is larger than apples and
weighs more than apples.

X12, because of it's implied data structure, is leaner and meaner than
XML. Doh! HIPPA is a porker too, compared to traditional
wholesale/distribution EDI. I can name that 850 in six or seven
segments. I'll wait while you attempt to stuff a minimum-filled 837.
