In reply to:
@timocratic True. Tho, I'd hope that a site published as an HTML API™ would place the same care on warning devs and/or not breaking the API.

@broccolini @jessicaspacekat I can't wait to go to this wedding!
In reply to:@timocratic Me too.
In reply to:@timocratic Is "debugging in console" > "debugging in browser" for you?
No snark. Genuine question.

In reply to:@ph1 It's 2012. Who's confused by HTML anymore?
In reply to:@timocratic …the tooling for HTML, namely The Browser™ is also a client of an "HTML API".
Serendipitous Re-use.

In reply to:@timocratic The purpose of this whole line of thinking is to use HTML as much possible, because...

In reply to:@timocratic :D
In reply to:@defiler Sorry. My point was the JSON Stuff You Get For Free™ tools. (e.g. Rails responds_to :json).
In reply to:@timocratic @steveklabnik And I agree with you, that if you needed to represent a set in HTML, an Unordered List prolly makes most sense.
In reply to:@timocratic @steveklabnik Ordered Lists are, definitely without a doubt, arrays.
In reply to:@heyaudy Oh, I don't know how to do it. I only noted it because HTML has <table>s for exactly that purpose. But JSON doesn't.
In reply to:@timocratic I thought so too at first. UL LIs aren't unique in the set/list (in HTML land).
Though, you could certainly treat it that way.

In reply to:@HunterBridges That a very fair point.
@postmodern_mod3 But what does that mean?
This JSON format as two hashes: "rows" and "columns". o_O

@postmodern_mod3 Agreed. You keep giving me reasons to use HTML over JSON (which I already support). I'm looking for good reasons NOT TO. ;)
In reply to:@defiler Not necessarily a great idea.
In reply to:@defiler Agreed. Though, JSON tools that are like "here's your 'API'" are really just JSON views into your objects and tables.

@postmodern_mod3 How do you mean? Or an example?

Other than Activity Streams, what *formats* exist in JSON?
In reply to:@defiler Right?! HTML is kind of amazing. And most of us don't have Unique Scaling Requirements™.
The API/app we're building is HTML only.
In reply to:@defiler Ok. That's fair. HTML does allow ambiguous white-space, like you said.
Cool. Anything else?
