Re: XML and JSON for API's

 

 Perfect...can't ask for more than that.

One extra thing is IF we decide to support XML, then it would be nice to also support gzip-compressed, allowing the XML to be compressed when sent - this helps save some bandwidth ;)

This is usually supported in most application/web servers when sending XML data, at the configuration level.

Cheers
James

At the very minimum until/if OpenStack supports XML, when I client wishes to
