Showing all of the parameters would serve to obscure the important ones that are pertinent to the section. Surprising, yes... but not in a bad way I think. It's not the type of API surprise that causes bugs, and it should be immediately obvious when they look at the URL. > (except for one which > has "wt=json" in the text and explicit says "(return response in JSON > format)" next to it. As you point out, the wt=json parameter was explicitly presented earlier, so it seems fair game for not calling it out explicitly. > If people think the json output is easier to read, then i'm cool with > using it, but the link text should match the link href. JSON prevents highlighter markup from being escaped... didn't want anyone seeing <em> The other benefit is vertical size - the XML format often consumed enough that the extra response info (highlighting or faceting) was pushed completely off the page, and would require the user to scroll down to see the start of it. -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
