Hello Mailinglist,

The JSON-Output in the Opensearch-Modul has a few mistakes.

First, a JSON-String have to start with an '{' and ends with '}'

The output is not a string, but an array. Arrays are wrapped in {} (indexed), or [] (unindexed).

but http://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=Te gives me ["Te",["TE","Te","Te 2/2","Te Ana-au Caves","Te Anau","Te Aroha","Te Atairangikaahu","Te Atua Mou E","Te Aupouri","Te Aup\u014duri"]]

That's perfectly legal for a nested unindexed array.

also, there are not so much informations as in the xml-output.

I want to propose a better output-formating, that is more confirm (all other json-outputs are in this form):

http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=thMx..&search=to{ "opensearch" : { "query":"Te", "items" : [ { "title": "TE", "description": "Te 2/2 ist eine Sammelbezeichnung für zweiachsige, elektrisch betriebene Rangiertraktoren in der Schweiz.", "url": "http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Te_2/2", "image": "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Filisur_RhB_71.JPG/..." } , { .... (the same for the next result) ... }, .... (and all results) ... ] } }

Is it possible to change that in the api-module?

No, because the OpenSearch format *requires* the output to be in this form. OpenSearch is used for things like search suggestions while typing something in Firefox's search bar.

If you want the same output in regular JSON, use http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&apprefi... . To get more information about the pages than just the title, use a generator: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=allpages&ga... .
