A way of getting XML free JSON from the JSON API #254

Closed DavidM-D closed 6 years ago

DavidM-D commented 6 years ago

Currently if I query the JSON API I get results back that look like this "item": "<span class=name><0>dbg2</0></span> :: Show a =&gt; String -&gt; a -&gt; a", when I'd much rather it looked like "item": "dbg2 :: Show a => String -> a -> a" Do you mind if I add a query parameter to enable this type of behaviour?

What language/environment are you consuming the output in? It should be pretty easy to remove the tags and escapes in most, but if not, I wouldn't mind too much - but it wouldn't be my first preference.

Yea, that's a fair point, I guess looking at a couple of the hoogle editor plugins generally they're not interested in any of the XML stuff. I'll just do it on the elisp side then.
