OpenSearch namespace is down?

Hi Igor! Good question. I think the namespace identifier not returning
content when resolved as a URL is unfortunate, but not strictly a bug, at
least by XML spec. I wrote a little bit about that before:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/opensearch/8ecuX35-lEs/JR_cs0N6k68J

As for JSON, nothing ever got formalized, and I can't say I recall ever
seeing a particular leading proposal emerge.

At this point, I'd personally be encouraging the community to start
thinking about how to re-invent OpenSearch for the modern web using
something like schema.org as the basis, and maybe looking at JSON-LD as a
possible serialization (I'm not an expert here). Not that the underlying
concepts are bad, they just are a little out of date with how the web
evolved.

That's perhaps out of scope for your actual question, but bringing
federated search, both structured results and search engine discovery, into
an HTML5 and mobile-first world would be a very interesting exercise.

Hi Clinton,
First of all, thanks for the good work uppon the OpenSearch. Today I was
creating a OpenSearchDescriptor for a REST api of mine and when I was
http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/ it is returning 404...
Is everything okay, it's discontinued or something?
Another question... is there another format like JSON for OpenSearch...
All my APIs are responding in json+hal and it's weird to serve an endpoint
which is returning XML...
Thanks for your time!
