API Formats
The API provides data in five different standard and/or widely-used formats. Just use the one you prefer:
- JSON (Default): a lightweight computer data interchange format (wikipedia).
- XML: a markup language and a set of rules for encoding documents (wikipedia).
- RSS: a XML document used for web syndication (wikipedia).
- Atom: another XML document used for web syndication (wikipedia).
- PHP: a lightweight serialized string used in PHP (PHP.net).
As noted, JSON is preferred as it is lightweight and commonly available in almost every platform or programming language.
Also, RSS and Atom references are not fully 100% yet.
