Description
I would want the option of exporting Timelines not only in HTML format, but in raw JSON (and JSONP, with a javascript padding callback) data format, too. The same goes for the Search view (but that's another ticket, really).
Given that, people can make their own uncoupled interfaces for the data set, such as this cool view, built solely from this JSON data set.

See also #3332 - convert the timeline data to some other arbitrary format.

This could be implemented in a plugin, but the timeline currently lacks an adequate interface. It should probably grow an IContentConverter implementation.

osimons, this is now part of the xml-rpc plugin right?

Almost… JSON is now supported by th:XmlRpcPlugin. And, it does provide an interface to Search. However, Timeline support is not yet added - see th:ticket:5527
I'll get around to completing this at some stage. Promise…

Replying to thijstriemstra:
So it's a plugin issue?
No, not only a plugin issue. The Timeline API pre-supposes HTML-based output, which makes reuse in other formats more difficult than it needs to. Content can arrive in any form as plugins are free to at will. And output may differ depending on project and user/session settings.
This complexity is the main reason why the RPC plugin does not support Timeline. There are other discussions of this elsewhere… :-)

Seems like something that should go into a plugin..
