(Genuine question.) > JSON or XML is a datatype source, that has no presentation defined. For me Markdown is same as HTML, it's formated data that can't be moified that easily (change an HTML table into a list for example). XML, JSON are datatypes that are builted to be consumed and presented into a different presentations (take ODF for example, or SVG). > I mean: I used in the download page example a json-like block, because > the resulting table was an expansion of the block (multiplied by the > number of languages IIRC), but in that case the json string and the > table would be a "1:1" match (i.e. any cell of the table would require a > corresponding entry in the json array), so I can't see exactly the > advantage of one against the other. > Basically take the presentation out of the equation, also making it more easy to maintain. I gave you an example of how it can play here. http://andremakram.com/blog/sourcecode/html_table_js_json/ If you ever worked with bash scripts (sed, awk, variable expansions, etc), having serialized data is much simpler to process like this than with an HTML file which could be a pain to get the right transformation. > > Emanuele > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > > -- Alexandro Colorado Apache OpenOffice Contributor 882C 4389 3C27 E8DF 41B9 5C4C 1DB7 9D1C 7F4C 2614
