Survey questions can of course be found at 
https://www.openstack.org/user-survey/. This particular one was found on 
the second page of the "About your OpenStack Deployments" section:

"""
What formats do you use for the API?
[X] XML
[X] JSON
"""

 From the data from 2013-10-11:

30.67% of survey takers ticked XML
69.32% of survey takers ticked JSON

of course this question allowed overlap - the ticking of both boxes. The 
overlap is 17.17% (or, if you prefer - 13.49% "pure" XML, and 52% "pure" 
JSON)


83% of deployments answered this question. As a comparison, this is a 
similar number to how many answered the "hypervisors" question (87%).
