Hi All, Not sure how to initiate some discussion on this feature request, but will try this list first. In addition, to the text and xml formats for metadata it would be great to have a JSON representation as well. A JSON format would ideally be more concise than the xml representation to minimize network traffic at scale. Additionally my sense (anecdotally) is developers prefer working with JSON payloads over XML when possible.
SIS may make a nice addition to our metadata extraction processes during ingest of data into the center and JSON would likely be a preferred format to work with as part of that process. Thanks for any thoughts on this request.
