Re: XMLSERVICE and Parsing XML Responses

If nobody else does it first one of the things on my “when I have time”

list is to look at adding JSON support to XMLSERVICE.

Note XMLSERVICE is now managed/hosted on bitbucket:
http://bit.ly/bitbucket-xmlservice-rpg

Here is the "issue" where JSON support is being discussed:
http://bit.ly/xmlservice-json-support

If you pursue helping then you could/should write an article about your
XMLSERVICE efforts by doing a fork/pull-request. See this article for what
I mean by fork/pull-request:

Despite its name Bard it isn’t an “XML package” it is a package that uses
XML as its data input/output mechanism just as a SOAP web service does.

I’d personally love to see a JSON option - I suspect XML was only chosen
because the compilers were already generating PCML for use by the JT/400
APIs.
