Possibility of sending JSON data?

any chance we can get some of the Web API calls to return items in JSON to make life a little bit easier? For example, the systemInfo call would be most helpful to have return a JSON response so we can check status with other systems.

    Sorry, this is unlikely. These web calls are designed mainly for our iOS app, which uses the XML. What application are you looking at using this for that requires JSON?

    Well, it's really for my home automation system, it has a really nice built in JSON parser, but no XML parsing. I was not suggesting to replace the returns with JSON, just to give an option to return in a different format kind of like you do on some of the calls, for example:


    HTML/XML page containing list of sounds

    Request format
    ++sounds[?format=X]

    Parameters
    format - the format of the returned data: "html" or "xml"

    Returned data
    An HTML or XML page with a list of sounds installed in the SecuritySpy server with links. Clicking on a link will play the sound on the server computer.

    Yes, if we were to do this, it would be via some kind of "format" option added to the call. I'll see what we can do in a future version, but I can't promise anything.

    Thanks Ben, appreciate you even considering it.
