With all the buzz about YQL’s new Insert/Update/Delete, a new feature JSONP-X was also released at the same time.
JSONP-X is essentially an escaped XML string as a JSON result wrapped in a javascript callback function. To access this functionality consider this example:
http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=<my yql query>&format=xml&callback=mycallback
and a basic structure:
myJSCallbackFunction({
“query”: {yql meta data here},
[...]
There has been some confusion around the net.

Yahoo Pipes will not be effected by the closing of Brickhouse. Pipes is currently under the Yahoo Open Social group. So don’t worry, your Pipes will still be around.
Good luck to all the team members in Brickhouse and all of my Yahoo co-workers that got laid off today.
