XML 1.1 Web service deprecation notice

The existing REST based RadioReference.com web service (XML 1.1) will be formally deprecated on April 1st, 2009. The script will be removed from service at midnight on that date.

I encourage all developers of applications that are using this interface to to migrate support to the new SOAP based Web service, documented at:

http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/RadioReference.com_Web_Service3.1

The WSDL for the SOAP based Web service is at:

http://api.radioreference.com/soap/?wsdl

We are deprecating the REST based Web service because it makes no sense for us to duplicate maintenance and new feature releases across multiple Web service types.
