JSON & XML Format Result Difference [edit]

I just wanted to know why there is difference between the results for XML and JSON output formats?

Exact search [edit]

Hi

Is there a way to do a case-insensitive exact search (diacritic independant) ?

for example I'd like to look for articles about "GEANT" on fr.wiktionnaire.org. There are 2 answwers : "Géant" and "géant"

But : http://fr.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=geant&format=json gives me :

["geant",["g\u00e9ant","g\u00e9ante","G\u00e9ant","g\u00e9ants","g\u00e9ante gazeuse","G\u00e9ants","g\u00e9ante rouge","g\u00e9ante bleue","g\u00e9ante de glace","g\u00e9ant des Flandres"]]

wheras I'd like to get only

["geant",["g\u00e9ant", "G\u00e9ant" ]]

Another example would be http://fr.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=CREE&format=json which replies

["CREE",["cr\u00e9er","Cree","cr\u00e9\u00e9","cr\u00e9\u00e9e","creek","cr\u00e9eras","creer","creed","creep","cr\u00e9ent"]]

I'd like to get only :

["CREE",["Cree","cr\u00e9\u00e9"]]

By the way "cr\u00e9e" (which exists) seems to be missing ?

How can I do that (of course I could post a post-query filter, but I guess this should be possible natively) ?

Thx
