First of all, Dare suggests that one reason for JSON being so popular is due to cross-domain JSON (also called JSONP or JSON with Padding). Ignoring the data format, this pattern is applicable to any kind of data, including XML (XML with Padding is equally valid). There is no reason that Yahoo! could not provide a cross-domain XML API along side a cross-domain JSON API. In fact, I urge people to email everyone they know over at Yahoo! to do so for all their properties such as del.icio.us.

It is essentially an extension of the idea of JSONP (JSON with Padding). Since I generally find myself working with XML more often than JSON I decided to create the equivalent for XML based applications. I have not extensively tested it but did try it on IE6 and FF1.5 on Win2K server.
