i looks cool
it would be even better if I could get the stats as XML though (easy access from both javascript and PHP with XML DOM)

I have no idea how to use that stuff as I am a website and in general coding noob, but good job!

Like I had said when I hinted at it's release: this is a feature for developers. Some very cool things may come of it from motivated people, but not instantly. Sorry!
No no, no apologies are necessary.  I'm just not a developer at all, so I guess most of the features of this update go right over my head.

More flashy?  This shit is awesome.  It's really, really flashy from a coder's standpoint.  This is going to open up a ton of possibilities for clan pages and such.  Thanks a lot, Chuy.  It's extremely cool of you to develop this API and let people piggy back off of your hard work.
Like I said to Chuy, I'm not a developer or clan leader/member, so most of the features aren't useful to me.  By flashy, I mean something like bringing the sigs back (with a guide for dummies like me).

This will open the door for more stats tracking on clan websites, personal sites, sigs, etc... Now that anyone can pull their raw bf2 stats from bf2s this means people are going to start writing php applications that will allow you to add your stats to your site with ease. Hell, I am even considering writing a few applications myself.

And as far as XML is concerned; this data feed is already in a json format. (PHP's foreach() and while()) FTW! Remember, this is an API (Application Programming Interface).
Maybe there will be more XML feeds in the future, but if you are really desperate im sure you could code one up in about a day.

Actually, parsing XML from Javascript is a pain in the butt. You have to use the built in and ackward DOM traversal methods. With JSON, it's just done. That's it. It's data. The JS interpreter, literally, looks like this:

Code:

var json_object = eval("("+json_code+")");
alert(json_object.pid + " -- " + json_object.nick);
As for PHP, it's just as easy:

Code:

$json_object = json_decode($json_code);
echo $json_object->pid . " -- " . $json_object->nick;
requires php5 -- but you should be on that anyway

I think JSON is actually a better format than XML for data sets like this.

No? Just me then, either way, good stuff.

I guess in this case, 99.9% of people using it are going to put it on their prepackaged PHP sites; and its leaner with bandwidth. I'm with you falafel in having something a bit more context agnostic. Either way its a pretty easy parse.

Nobody is stopping anybody in generating some prefixed scripts that handle the basics. If they are posted, they might end up in the wiki, as example. (For the interested and knowledgeable few: hint hint!)
