Yes and it is a good thing we don't anymore.
Why? JSON hasn't given us anything XML hasn't, except maybe a bit of terseness.
I do agree SOAP is a bit over engineered, though, but that's not the fault of XML.
XML is much more annoying to read/write by hand
As a pentester, if I see XML in HTTP I start crying.
