JSON API

Hi

Would it be possible to add on JSON as an API format ?

It would allow us to create some pretty neat Javascript widgets for Lighthouse. Currently this is blown out of the water by the XHR cross domain problem.

Just a json mime type on tickets.json with a function callback name as a parameter would do the trick.

cheers

   We actually discussed this a few days ago, it was requested previously and it should not be a big deal to add tot he API.

   Did anything ever become of this? I'm exploring the API thinking of writing a perl OO module to interact with the API and JSON would be orders of magnitude easier to handle than XML.

   Yes, there's a JSON api and it mirrors the XML one pretty much.

   So, instead of requesting something.xml, request something.json?

   Yup, you'll get a comparable JSON hash of the details. Tickets will look something like {'ticket': {'title': 'foo', ...}}. You can see a Lighthouse ticket widget live on one of our open source project wikis.

   Also, please open a new discussion if you have any problems. I think we're sending jonahfox extra emails he may not want :)

   A Lighthouse ticket was created for this discussion

   I vote for this too. JSON is a much smaller transfer size so I use it from server-side over XML.

    David -- we have JSON available, just replace .xml
