I should warn you.  I'm very old-fashioned.  I still like XML more than JSON as I still find it way easier to parse and read.  My tests are in an XSL script in fact so my data is already in XML nuggets :)
GEOS uses XML for the XMLtester in fact
https://trac.osgeo.org/geos/browser/trunk/tests/xmltester/tests  (and Sandro and I had discussed a while back sharing tests)

So if you wanna change formats, I would propose XML.
