Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/API Future/Please kill all non-JSON formats

Multiple formats support is awkward and, especially with XML, is just plain weird.

I'd strongly like to kill all formats except for JSON. JSON is widely supported, simple, doesn't have weird-ass attributes and text contents, and generally should be a good default.

Kill XML with fire, please please please!

The other formats are basically equivalent to JSON (YAML was actually replaced with JSON because valid JSON is valid YAML!) and there's not much benefit to their existence.
