How is XML any more immune to schema changes?


Is not immune, but you have an explicit contract in the form of a XML Schema Definition (XSD).


XSD is not part of XML, it's a totally separate specification. JSON likewise has schema specifications like JSON Schema.

Also, Protocol Buffers are by far better a better schema language than XSD.
