I wanted to create some JavaScript rich (thick client) applications on top of XenForo for managing multiple forums (once RTL support is there). Then I realized that I need to write modifications for various resources as illustrated in "XenForo AJAX Tutorial" to output only JSON data free from any HTML template. I think it will be really nice if we get responses from XenForo engine natively in machine friendly formats as well along with the human readable HTML output. I would personally prefer JSON but adding XML too will be added sugar. It will enable cross-site communication and aggregation for XenForo powered sites.
URL formats can be something like this:
http://xenforo.com/community/find-new/threads.json
http://xenforo.com/community/find-new/threads?_format=json
(Notice, we need to consider redirects also)
PS: I think, I should have posted it in the feature request section. But it feels more of a concern for developers. So I am posting it here, feel free to move it to another forum.
