Not to discourage your attempt, but until VERY recently JSON and XML were not easily handled with Crestron. ?That said, they still aren't easy today unless you are versed with C# and have Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Pro to develop within for use with SIMPL# libraries that can be called form SIMPL+. ?Whether you need to go down the road of SIMPL# will be determined by the device, the API, and what you need to control within the API. ?But with almost full certainty you will need to work within SIMPL+ to help make your life easier. ?I know this isn't helpful, but to kindly put it, you have not been thrown in the deep end. ?You've been hauled out to sea and thrown overboard at the Mariana Trench with cement shoes. ?To help us help you, please post what the device is and if the API is public a link to the APIs along with a set of goals for what you need to do and we can all be able to guide you a little bit more accurately. ?
