At ISIS we use the webpages served by the ArchiveEngine as a basis for instrument status screens for the users. We currently parse the HTML but it would be better if we could get the values in JSON as:
- It can be easier to parse if we remove the format tags
- Some values are truncated in the html view
This will be optional to the user in that http://engine:4812/main?format=json would return this JSON.
