in reply to Twitter API choices

My preferred format is JSON. It is tons simpler than any of the other listed formats (and is tons simpler than most formats; it only gets a little complicated if you have to deal with non-ASCII characters). JSON::XS is widely used and rarely complained about (I'll complain about it later and then I'll replace it with a small regex, which I can easily do because JSON is so simple).

    +1 for JSON (and JSON::XS). RSS and Atom are both XML-based, so your choices really boil down to JSON or XML, if you're wanting to do the parsing yourself.

    I'll add a +1 for JSON, too... of course, that's just because that's what I'm learning right now :-)
