# Summary

Views Datasource is a set of plugins for Drupal Views for rendering content in a number of shareable, reusable formats based on XML, JSON and XHTML. These formats allow content in a Drupal site to be easily used as data sources for Semantic Web clients and web mash-ups. Views Datasource plugins output content from node lists created in the Drupal Views interface in a variety of formats - XML data documents using schemas like OPML and Atom, RDF data documents using a vocabulary like FOAF, JSON data documents in a format like Exhibit JSON, and XHTML data documents using a microformat like hCard.

Most likely this module can be replaced with D8 migrate? Eg export stuff via migrate.

Views Data Export might be abandoned in favor of Migrate as well: #2602650: [meta] Rethink Data Export from the ground up

I don't see how migrate would help? This module doesn't deal with exporting - it's the format of the data being displayed.

Any news on a D8 version yet?

I don't think we need this anymore given that the basic functionality for this is in core now.

I recently needed this module to output a views attachment as JSON so that it could inherit filtering from the main display. This isn't possible with the core REST export display so I feel there is still a need for this module.

Setting back for now, but couldn't we add the missing features to core? Maybe there are issues for these already?
