How I can get the response in JSON format, directly from the Google servers? (that means: without parse the xml and convert to JSON from my server).

• javascript
• xml
• json
• google-plus

• Looks like everything is in Google+ Api is in JSON. developers.google./+/api and here shows a call for a photo: developers.google./+/api/#partial-response – BingeBoy Commented May 5, 2013 at 21:30
• Yes I know, but I need to use the Picasa API, not the Google Plus API :(. – Imaky Commented May 5, 2013 at 21:39

As you've noticed, you need to use the Picasa Web Albums API for now, until they get around to a Google+ API. Picasa Web Albums API uses the older Google Data Protocol, which was designed around XML.

You can have Google's servers convert the XML to JSON by providing an ?alt=json parameter to the URL. The rules for how the XML is converted to JSON, as well as other information about this, are documented at https://developers.google./gdata/docs/json
