uggh, yet another xml api. Either use JSON or something like Thrift or ProtoBuf.

Look closer.

YQL can output results in either JSON or XML. It just uses XML for table definitions, and as one of several ways to extract data from web services.

Also does JSONP for use in the front-end.

It would be nice, vicaya, if you fact checked before throwing stones.

Well, majority of the meat/bindings/scripts etc is written in XML. If you want to use something other than prewritten samples, you'll have to deal with XML. Period.
