Google Released AJAX API for adding syndicated feeds to applications and Web sites
Google Inc. has launched an AJAX API (application programming interface) designed to simplify the
process of creating application mashups using JavaScript.
The new Google AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) Feed API eliminates the need for developers to write server-side proxies to access public data feeds using JavaScript, Google announced in an official blog posting.
With this API, feeds can accessed by writing "a few lines" of JavaScript. "The API automatically handles the proxying and offers a clean, straightforward interface for accessing syndicated data," a Google spokesman wrote via e-mail.
Sample tasks the API simplifies include displaying a dynamic blogroll on a Web page or photos from a feed from the Google Picasa photo management service on a site.
The new API supports the Atom and RSS syndicated feed formats.
