We are very excited to announce an important advancement in our platform. We are constantly working to update the world's largest cloud media processing software. New features are added on a regular basis, but we also try to think beyond features to how we can make our platform more flexible, more adaptable, and more accommodating to more users. Our rich set of API wrappers for every popular scripting language is a perfect example of that. Today we've launched the expansion of our API to support JSON. This is in addition to our existing support for XML. JSON, or Javascript Object Notation, is a lightweight data inter-change format. Based on JavaScript, JSON is a language independent text format that uses many of the same conventions as the C-family of languages (C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python). It's easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate, making it an ideal data inter-change format.
JSON has become a popular alternative to XML for a few reasons. It's not as robust, which on the surface might not seem like a good thing. However, it's simplicity makes it easier to implement and easier to read. While JSON supports fewer data formats, it supports the formats most critical to developers, excluding some potentially malicious data formats, such as executables. JSON data is stored in arrays and records, as opposed to XML which uses a tree structure for data. Since arrays and records are a component of object-oriented languages, sharing data with these languages is much easier. XML's richness still offers a lot of benefits, but it ultimately up to the developer to decide which method for sharing data is right for their project. Encoding.com supports either decision!
For the Encoding.com API, here's what you need to know. When making requests via JSON, your responses will be returned via JSON as well. We've updated all of the code snippets in the API docs with the JSON format. Output for both platform status and the notification system can be JSON formatted.
To make a status request, simply use the following:
http://status.encoding.com/status.php?format=json
The response should be formatted like this:
{
response: {
status: Current system status,
status_code: Current system status code.,
incident: Current incident description, if system is not at Ok condition. See description below
}
}
JSON can also be specified as the callback format for notifications. Just use the following:
