I'd really prefer a RSS feed over JSON. My 2 cents.
I'm curious why, is it just the existing ecosystem?
Well part of it. But mostly I think a lot of the JSON is better thanXML is more hype than merit. And It's not exactly hard to find a goodXML library on any platform I've used. And libexpact is very efficient.
I also like the TSV style approach but think it can potentiallylimiting. Also could probably lead to less than desirable layouts inthe future as the only real way to expand that is adding anothercolumn, leaving the old ones in and having positional parsers.
