As I said my intention right now is only to allow the user to force the
capabilities mime type to be text\xml using the format parameter.
I will create an issue and prepare a pull request for this.
Having a JSON output format for WMS 1.1.1 capabilities and others
services will certainly help building light web clients specific to
GeoServer.

Hi,
I am not very fascinated. After all WMS 1.1.1 is standard and your
colleagues would need to be able to parse both JSON and XML
/(application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml) /in the future because people do run
also other servers than Geoserver. For all heavy WMS clients XML and
the odd MIME type is not a problem.
The mime type does irritate me as well when I want to check the
capabilities with browser but instead of writing &format=text/xml I
can write &version=1.3.0 and nowadays most servers send me a
browser-friendly response. It's WMS 1.3.0 response but what I am
interested in is most often a) does it work at all or b) which layers
exist I can check them both also with 1.3.0. Hower, I can't imagine
what trouble the new vendor option &format=text/xml could do, despite
making some users to believe that all WMS servers
support it. Format=JSON could be an issue if some unaware
user would copy-paste the good known URL into WMS client like QGIS,
which would then get capabilities as JSON and fail to interpret the data.

I think this is a good addition since my client-side colleagues would
prefer JSON responses vice XML as JSON is “easier to parse in JavaScript”

If in the future someone implements other formats capabilities
documents generators like JSON this parameter should be used for that.
Right now I only planned to add support for the text\xml format :)

For json-p?

Hi,
The WMS 1.1.1 GetCapabilities XML response uses the OGC specific
mime type /application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml./ I would like to propose a
new WMS vendor parameter named /FORMAT /that can be used to force
the response mime type to something more well recognized like
/text/xml/. Note that WMS 1.3.0 GetCapabilities result already
uses /text/xml/.
This will imply implementing the handling of the /FORMAT
/parameter when generating the GetCapabilities response for WMS
1.1.1 and adding /text/xml /as a supported mime type for WMS 1.1.1
GetCapabilities result. In the case were an invalid mime type is
requested we will log an warning and fall-back on the OGC default one.
Thoughts on this ?
Regards,
Nuno Oliveira
