That's the same question - "does it matter?" - that I had reading this thread. If you have a ton of records to pack into a file, are the advantages of sending a json mime type over http and viewing it in a browser with jsonovich or whatever worth it when it's a really big file anyway? Seems that having 3-4 parsers that share the exact same idea of how to read/write individual records is the main story, and a great step forward. +1 to y'all for getting this done. -1 to me for never following through with my half-done pymarc implementation at c4lc '09 or whenever it was. -Dan
