Hi Folks,

This document [1] defines JSON documents this way:

A JSON document is an information resource (series of octets) described by =
the application/json media type.

Would it be correct to define XML documents in an analogous way:

An XML document is an information resource (series of octets) described by =
the application/xml media type.

Two More Questions:

1. What is an "information resource"?

2. The parenthetical remark seems to imply that an information resource is =
a "series of octets". Is an information resource a series of octets?
