To that end, if RIPE could produce a template/example in a few popular languages (perl, python, ruby, php) to download the JSON and parse into the native language data structure that could get a LOT more folks using the data...
You can fins a bunch of decoders in more languages than I count on http://www.json.org/
Hi, It's really nice to see the community in action :-) It is a rather encouraging sign to us! To answer Leo's original question from a different perspective: the result data you get from Atlas is a structured piece of information. We had to choose a specific encoding, and we opted for JSON (as opposed to YAML, XML, etc.) because in many cases that can be directly used in client side applications. We *could* supply other formats too, but no matter what the encoding is, you need some kind of client library to parse it. Regards, Robert
