				I could find no reference and am assuming no.  Has it ever been discussed?

				It has been over a year since this was suggested. Was it ever implemented? It would certainly make my job easier.

				No, afaik. Though it's only a formatting thing, doesn't really improve anything for most users.

				Json is faster to parse and is smaller in size. Furthermore, Json is a bit easier for me to serialize/deserialize than XML. Furthermore, I have more experience working with Json than XML so I could write up the actual API much faster.
So, I guess it's a preference kind of thing, but also faster.

				I do agree with you on those things, but it won't have a priority because few ppl would notice the difference.

				I was really just interested if lackattack had gotten it done. He mentioned above that it was on his todo list. That was about a year ago, I'm just wondering if anything was done or not. Judging by your response I'd say nothing was, well... XML it is I guess.

				With the new management now, it would be great to see the API updated and things like JSON added. I imagine there are more than a few programmers such as myself keeping an eye on this and looking forward to developing a few new tools.

				There is a lot that could be expanded with the API, JSON and the ability to interact with more of the game (retrieving spoils for each player, getting units on a map etc).
