Description:

Views Datasource is a set of plugins for Drupal Views for rendering content in
a number of shareable, reusable formats based on XML, JSON and XHTML. These
formats allow content in a Drupal site to be easily used as data sources for
Semantic Web clients and web mash-ups. Views Datasource plugins output content
from node lists created in the Drupal Views interface in a variety of formats -
XML data documents using schemas like OPML and Atom, RDF data documents using a
vocabulary like FOAF, JSON data documents in a format like Exhibit JSON, and
XHTML data documents using a microformat like hCard.

Views Datasource can be thought of as a userland complement to the work going on
in the Services and RDF APIs as a site operator only needs to know Views to be
able to create datasources in the different formats.

The project consists of 4 Views style plugins (and related row plugins):
* views_xml - Output as raw XML, OPML, and Atom;
* views_json - Output as Simile/Exhibit JSON, Canonical JSON, JSONP/JSON in
script;
* views_rdf- Output as FOAF, SIOC, and DOAP;
* views_xhtml - Output as hCard, hCalendar, and Geo.

This package provides the following Drupal modules:
* views_json
* views_rdf
* views_xhtml
* views_xml
