why cant I get a simple pretty print version of the json format via the new API?
With the old API (example: http://gameshub.wikia.com/api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges&fo... ) you got a basic text output. Nice clean and simple.
With the recent API rewrite, someone decided to really screw with the look. Now you get a color coded, HTML rich, text on a Blue background (Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges&fo... ). Where did the basic simple clean output go? and how do I get it back?
You can't. The pretty one is so humans can read it better.
Or maybe you can disable CSS.
