Hi all,

I wanted to get an idea of to which degree people use the XML
representation of meta-data in Web API.

We see that maintaining XML support for meta-data is getting increasingly
costly and complicated, and is slowing down the development. Most Web apps
today use the JSON representation, and increasingly integration between
systems are using JSON or even CSV.

Would it be acceptable to remove support for XML for meta-data around 2.24
for July next year?

With metadata I refer to resources such as data elements, data sets and org
units. We will not remove support for XML for data values (data value sets).



regards,

Lars
