Describe the bug Merriam Webster lists the XML API being deprecated as of Oct. 2019 source: https://www.dictionaryapi.com/products/index

Are there plans to move to the JSON API? Or is there another Anki add-on that's recommended for dictionary definitions? I'd also really like to add example sentences which looks to only be included in the JSON api

I haven't yet seen any announcement of a full shut-down; the add-on continues to work for me. I don't personally have plans to move to the JSON API, but I will happily accept pull requests!
