[TYPO3-dev] How to access TER as JSON/XML/SOAP/...?

[Christian Zenker]

Hi.

TYPO3 gets the list of extensions from [1] (that's what is in the  
cache_extensions table afterwards) This is probably the easiest solution  
and tailored for your use case.

Alternatively you could query the SOAP API with something like [2], but  
that is way more complicated to use if you just need the list of current  
extension versions given by the XML above.

There is no JSON file for extensions at the moment, but already a request  
for it [3].

Best regards,
Christian.
