Reminds me of the Property List evolution:

1. "Under NeXTSTEP, property lists were designed to be human-readable and edited by hand, serialized to ASCII in a syntax somewhat like a programming language."

2. "In Mac OS X 10.0, the NeXTSTEP format was deprecated, and a new XML format was introduced."

3. "Since XML files, however, are not the most space-efficient means of storage, Mac OS X 10.2 introduced a new format where property list files are stored as binary files."

There's a service that's being subscribed to that provides video that I can't share, sadly. However, when I reverse engineered how our video player was translating a uid into a link, I was horrified.

Essentially, we perform a request that returns an xml document wrapped in a json object, wrapped in a jsonp callback, that is then parsed by a php script on our end back into a pure json object.

This made me die a bit.

My brow is now permanently furrowed and my heart has arrested.

I am sad.
