Not only the burden of doing the mapping and maintaining it, but you also have documentation, and possibly of supporting multiple versions, etc. I would rather support one format starting out and add additional ones if there's a strong need rather then remove a format because a) it's hard to maintain, b) users don't really use one vs the other.

you don't want to do XML because it would be an additional burden to do the object / XML mapping ?

or just because you think XML is so 2000 ?

Sorry, thought I sent this email yesterday...

I created a poll here https://community.jboss.org/polls/1100 for some fun and to discuss about which format to support for the REST API of GateIn. I would recommend people vote and comment, especially if you vote for both :). We can obviously discuss here in more detail. I plan to follow up with some more details on some of my findings thus far after I work out a couple more prototypes.
