Why the JSON dependency #2

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to compile bitlyj
2. Requires JSON and several further dependencies
3.

The bit.ly API supports format=xml in addition to format=json.

XML parsing is native to the Java platform, hence if bitlyj were to use the
XML format in bit.ly calls it would remove a compile dependency.

The XML produced by bitly is invalid and fails to parse in sane parsers. I 
filed an
issue months ago with bitly, apparently still in limbo. Details on the bug:

I'm closing this out. JSON parsing isn't a huge task, but I'm not into 
reinventing
the wheel. When bitly starts producing valid XML (it's the hashes that fail), 
this
dep can be removed.
