But necessary for dealing with XML-based metadata carriers - can't all be JSON. :) > C4::Service (recently sent to patches list, so everything dealing with it is > uncertain): I am slightly biased towards this approach because I wrote it, > but I think it saves a lot of repetitive work in writing AJAX services.

It comes with a > HTML::Template-ish wrapper around CPAN's JSON module. I've gone ahead and pushed it. It works fine for the tags and reviews features, and there are lots of small web services I can envision that would benefit from this framework. For the bib services in svc/*, I will play around with writing a C4::Service::XML to standardize services that need to emit and consume XML.
