“JS is talking about what they’ve learned in building del.icio.us”

“One fun remark: avoid using “SOAP, Corba or something insane” for your API - del.icio.us doesn’t even use REST, Schachter said, but rather POX - plain old XML. His logic is that simple APIs are available to a larger subset of developers - why limit your

“Blake Seely released some code yesterday to convert Cocoa datatypes to JSON. I’ve had similar code that Ive been meaning to put online for a while now. So now the world has gone from zero to two Cocoa code-bases to read/write JSON.”

“This post discusses how to use Cocoa to communicate with Turbogears powered web-applications.”
