In some cases it is still highly used, a good example of this is Android.

Indeed. Developers realized that writing nested tags isn't as efficient as json. XML: <myValue>3.14</myValue> JSON: { "myValue" : "3.14" }

xml is great for data in a tree-structure, example: opening book for a JavaScript based chess-engine.
