Gregg (greggmarshall) | 105 comments Does this API have an XML option???

If I try
http://www.goodreads.com/book/review_...
I get a JSON response

If I try
http://www.goodreads.com/book/review_...
I get an empty response (not an error, just nothing returned)

Same empty response if I try
http://www.goodreads.com/book/review_...

Michael Economy (michaeleconomy) No it doesn't.

We might be able to add that you have a valid use case. (Shouldn't be too difficult).

Gregg (greggmarshall) | 105 comments Turns out it was very easy to convert the JSON to a PHP array, which is what I've been doing with the XML responses, so I'm not worried about an XML version.

Just didn't seem symmetrical like the other APIs so I thought I'd ask.

Michael Economy (michaeleconomy) We built it specifically for one partner, so it's a little odd (most other apis were designed/built for either 'the community' or the iphone app).
