Let's forget the merits of XML vs. JSON or how many people you think are actually using XML. Those points are actually irrelevant to the discussion. Deprecating XML violates the API development principles established for OpenStack. It doesn't fit a single criterion for deprecation. Period. So the question should not be "No one is writing XML for their API calls, so should we deprecate it?" The question should be: "Why are we letting API calls into the code base without XML support?" And: "Why are we letting code into the code base without proper test cases?" Focus on those two questions. -- George Reese (george.reese at imaginary.com) t: @GeorgeReese m: +1(207)956-0217 Skype: nspollution cal: http://tungle.me/GeorgeReese -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
