Different results with XML and JSON

julj — GMT

hi, a given search returns different results when returned as XML or JSON. What's wrong? For instance: http://ws.geonames.org/search?name_startsWith=roch&country=fr&featureClass=P returns as a first result Code:


Rochefort-des-Vignes
46.7833333
4.85
3027484
FR
France
P
PPL

while http://ws.geonames.org/search?name_startsWith=roch&country=fr&featureClass=P&type=json returns (same geonamesID but different data) Code:

{u'fcode': u'PPL', u'name': u'Chalon-sur-Sa\xf4ne', u'countryCode': u'FR',
u'geonameId': 3027484, u'fclName': u'city, village,...', u'adminCode1': u'A1',
u'countryName': u'France', u'lat': 46.783333300000002, u'lng': 4.8499999999999996, u'adminName1': u'Bourgogne',
u'fcl': u'P', u'fcodeName': u'populated place', u'population': 47251}

thanks

Thanks for reporting the inconsistency. It has been fixed. The place was the same in both service. The XML service has returned the alternatename that triggered the startsWith rule in the name field whereas the json service returned the main name. Both services now return the name that corresponds to the startsWith search. Best Marc
