<h3 dir="auto">Problem</h3>
<ul dir="auto">
<li><strong>As a</strong> developer of web-based tools,</li>
<li><strong>I want</strong> to avoid bundling a massive xml-parsing library just for a single API endpoint (since almost all others support JSON now)</li>
<li><strong>so that</strong> the page loads faster, we avoid unnecessary library, avoid boilerplate code, etc. etc.</li>
</ul>
<h3 dir="auto">Description</h3>
<p dir="auto">Over the years, JSON support has gradually been added to most APIs.</p>
<p dir="auto">Uploading & downloading changesets are one of the few APIs that are still XML-only.</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li><a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="2317198063" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap/issues/407" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap/pull/407/hovercard" href="https://github.com/zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap/pull/407">zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap#407</a> tracks uploading changesets as JSON</li>
<li>In this issue tracks downloading changesets in JSON</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">I imagine we could just create <code class="notranslate">/changeset/:id/download.json</code> to match <code class="notranslate">/changeset/:id/download</code>. The JSON format would be the same as what <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="2317198063" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap/issues/407" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap/pull/407/hovercard" href="https://github.com/zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap/pull/407">zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap#407</a> is proposing^{<a href="#user-content-fn-1-3eee92c6c22bd9e8adc5116e3759a288" id="user-content-fnref-1-3eee92c6c22bd9e8adc5116e3759a288" data-footnote-ref="" aria-describedby="footnote-label">1</a>}</p>
