How would you go about extracting the XML/JSON bits from the rest of

already know the answer to)

If you do CSV output, it's in a field.


And even if it's not, a well formed XML document would be fairly easy to extract, especially if the root element is well known (e.g. <pg:explain> or some such). And if the patch doesn't produce a well-formed XML doc then it needs work ;-). It might be nice if Robert were to post some samples of the output.

Quick question: does the patch use formal methods using, say, the DOM API to build up the XML, or informal methods (like foo.append('<element>'); foo.append(content); foo.append('</element>'); )

As you can tell, I haven't looked over it yet. But I intend to ;-)

cheers
