Look closer. YQL can output results in either JSON or XML. It just uses XML for table definitions, and as one of several ways to extract data from web service

- sh1mmer 17y agoAlso does JSONP for use in the front-end. It would be nice, vicaya, if you fact checked before throwing stones.
- vicaya 17y agoOne needs to deal with large amount of XML for non-pre-canned query. That's a fact.
- vicaya 17y agoWell, majority of the meat/bindings/scripts etc is written in XML. If you want to use something other than prewritten samples, you'll have to deal with XML. Period.
- IsaacSchlueter 17y agoSo you would not want to use any service that uses XML for any purpose, even if it could output its results in JSON? That seems irrational.
