Dear Maintainer,

It would be great if you could add a REST api for bts with the data 
encapsulated in JSON. It would provide the same information as the existing 
soap api but it would be far more convenient to use in applications where using
soap is difficult and inefficient. 
For instance i'm making the debian android app for gsoc 2013 and i need to
query bts for various info. But for that usage soap  doesn't follow the 
constraints of mobile computing (both in size of transmitted data and in the 
processing it needs afterwards) and also  The "easiest" way to use soap in 
android is with something like kSoap2 which adds to the maintenance as an 
extra lib and generally complicates the development a lot. 
Would it be possible?
