Re: OpenSearch namespace is down?

Hi Igor! Good question. I think the namespace identifier not returning content when resolved as a URL is unfortunate, but not strictly a bug, at least by XML spec. I wrote a little bit about that before:

 https://groups.google.com/d/msg/opensearch/8ecuX35-lEs/JR_cs0N6k68J

As for JSON, nothing ever got formalized, and I can't say I recall ever seeing a particular leading proposal emerge.

At this point, I'd personally be encouraging the community to start thinking about how to re-invent OpenSearch for the modern web using something like schema.org as the basis, and maybe looking at JSON-LD as a possible serialization (I'm not an expert here). Not that the underlying concepts are bad, they just are a little out of date with how the web evolved.

That's perhaps out of scope for your actual question, but bringing federated search, both structured results and search engine discovery, into an HTML5 and mobile-first world would be a very interesting exercise.

Hi Clinton,

First of all, thanks for the good work uppon the OpenSearch. Today I was creating a OpenSearchDescriptor for a REST api of mine and when I was trying to access the namespace mentioned on the docs: http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/ it is returning 404...

Is everything okay, it's discontinued or something?

Another question... is there another format like JSON for OpenSearch... All my APIs are responding in json+hal and it's weird to serve an endpoint which is returning XML...

Thanks for your time!

Hi David,

Apologies for the delay. The first post is moderated to help combat spam. You should be good to go now.
