MARC, XML, and JSON walked into a bar. The bartender looked at them and said, "What is this, a joke?"

MARC replied, "No, we're just here for a drink. We're the three most popular data formats in the world, and we're here to celebrate our success."

XML said, "Yeah, we've been around for a long time, and we've seen a lot of changes in the world of data representation."

Self-replies

JSON chimed in, "But we're the new kids on the block, and we're making waves with our simple and lightweight format. We're the future of data representation."

The bartender nodded and said, "Well, I guess you're all winners in my book. What can I get you?"

MARC said, "I'll have a beer, please."

XML said, "I'll have a glass of wine."

JSON said, "I'll just have a soda, thanks."

The bartender poured their drinks and said, "Now, let's hear some more of your data jokes."

(I think the joke is the MARC thinks he's as popular as JSON and XML)
