Can't help but wonder why they didn't pick JSON. :)
- krick 8y agoI'd say the article isn't entirely accurate. First off, it's not like they all still use EDIFACT today, XML APIs are there for years for all major GDS (Sabre, Amadeus, Travelport products), and there are multiple APIs with different capabilities. And some APIs are actually available via JSON transport. But that doesn't matter that much, really, there are countless reasons why pretty much all of these APIs are fucked up, XML/SOAP with broken WSDLs as a transport is really more like a minor inconvenience compared to everything else that bothers me when thinking about their APIs.
