API - is there a way to customize output?

Hey,

I was wondering what the prospects would be for integrating a web app with scheduling info from Scalix. Is it possible to customize the output from the API?

I'm thinking XML or JSON, which I know is already available via the API, but I'd like to be able to define and/or customize the content.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if you want to translate content that is already present in the existing
XML, or if you need to add new content that isn't present.

Translation could be done with a layer that sits in front of the API servlet
(e.g. an XSLT engine, if you have the intestinal fortitude for coding in XSLT).

To add new content you'd need to change the API servlet code, but hey it's
open source so that's possible too.
