From TFA:

>> XML and Javascript are tree structures and not suitable for efficiently storing tabular data (plus other issues).



"Javascript" was meant to be "JSON". (now fixed)


What does the acronym TFA mean here?


"The Fine Article" (though more traditionally, and/or depending on tone, "The Fucking Article").


I thought it was “the featured article” — in any case, it means in this context — “the linked url that this hacker news thread is discussing.”
