Documentation Formats

Hello everyone.

I have a question about the documentation, is it available in any other formats? I want to make a documentation API eg. the docs in JSON or XML format that webapps or sites could request and display. It could also double-up as a way to help validate scripts.

The reason I ask is that I've made an IDE type thing for processing.js at hascanvas.com and I want to be able to validate/auto-correct scripts and have a quick function reference to help those who are new/newish to processing like myself.

I figured rather than having a static copy of the docs something that's re-usable/formattable would be a much better use of time. So would I be re-inventing the wheel? If the docs are stored in a database could I get a copy?

PS
Original discussion started on the processing.js google group @ groups.google.com/group/processingjs/browse_thread/thread/e8d5a959c87a1660
