XML and JSON endpoints

New in govinfo, you can add /xml or /json to any govinfo bulkdata link to receive the listing in that format.

XML: https://www.govinfo.gov/bulkdata/xml/BILLS/115/1/hjres
JSON: https://www.govinfo.gov/bulkdata/json/BILLS/115/1/hjres

Note

If crawling the xml and json endpoints programmatically, you should ensure that you set the appropriate accept headers in your request, or you may see a 406 response. e.g for json - Accept: application/json
