Just a suggestion, if it’s not already there. Give us an option to get output as XML. It would make development a great deal easier than having to parse the current output. Perhaps a flag “?xml=yes” in the calls? If this is already a viable option I apologize, I did not see it in the wiki.
Ya, offering different data formats is on our list, but rather low priority at the moment. We’ll be sticking with JSON as our primary data format for the foreseeable future. Thanks!

Understandable. Glad to know it’s at least on the list! ^.^
What sort of data are you looking for? I may already have it available if you don’t mind a middleman.
Haven’t started any development yet, so I don’t have a specific list of needs. I was just expressing a desire to see the data retrievable in an XML tree, as I’m more adapted at XML data manipulation.

Is there a particular language you’re using? The list of API wrappers has numerous projects in various languages that might be able to help you jump start past any unfamiliarity you have with JSON.
Given the recent changes to the structure of the APIs we’re unlikely to offer XML going forward. It’s just not easy to do and I’m having a hard time finding any environment that can’t consume JSON.
