You are completely missing the point. Yes, the Armory is backed by XML injected data, and yes, several people (myself included) have written apps that snag that XML data and manipulate it. But the difference is, Dungeon Runners is releasing an API that tells you *how* to access the data. Since there is no Armory API at this point in time, those that want to make use of the data basically have to hijack it and figure out how to parse it.

It took me several weeks to figure out how to access the "of the " random enchant info (of the owl, of the bear, etc) of an item without any documentation to point the way. I would *LOVE* for Blizzard to put out an official API or webservice, so that we could access all the data (and we know there is one, Figureprints.com makes use of it, we just dont have access to it)

Ok, I see what you're saying after looking at the XML data from Blizzard. It does seem to be very cryptic. I couldn't even figure out how to get the item stats for a non-random item from my quick perusal of it.
