Groups Service API v2

I don't see any mention of response format on this or the sub-pages - maybe I'm just missing it.

I do have an email exchange from August 2013 in which iam-support stated:

Currently the only response format is XHTML. We have cadrs in our backlog for XML and JSON, but that work hasn't been prioritized yet.

Is that still up-to-date information? Either way, it seems worth "publishing" that information in this wiki space.

I have not had the opportunity do do much development with the groups

service.  However, many of the responses will return plain xml.  Try:

  Accept: text/xml

Let me know if these would be helpful.  I'll try to get them documented.

Until we go to 'v3' xhtml has to stay the default format.

That works. I don't mind including headers in my request, so changing the default response format isn't particularly significant for my usage. Now, if you wanted to add JSON, that would be lovely, but I can live with xml.

I suppose these comments probably do the job, but I think you guys should consider adding a brief paragraph describing the supported formats to the actual documentation (update: seeing that you already indicated you would add docs when you have time). I assume I won't be the last person to wonder.

Thanks for the reply!
