The format is not the data

We don't have to put the data in any particular format. There's no need
to choose any format. We can have them all. With whatever I do, I want
to support everything.

If the CPAN client says it can handle JSON, it can download JSON. If it
wants YAML, it can download YAML. If it needs just text, that's fine
too. SQLite? Excel? XML? Oracle dump file? ROT13 ASCII art? Bikeshed
Standard Protocol Specification Hex Color Expanded Multidimensional
Language Storage Format Second Edition? No problem.

At the application level, there will be something that says "Give me
what I need for module Foo". Beyond that, it's just data connectors. If
we do it right, almost none of the code should care or know the format.

On the server side, we can have as many formats as Andreas cares to
make for us. After all, it's his database that is the actual source of
the data.
