====== Ecosystem Types ======

This method is mostly useful in combination with the [[:api:eco:search|Ecosystem Search method]], for filtering purposes.

You can retrieve a list of all item types, each with their name and ID number.

===== Formats ===== 

XML or JSON (default is XML).

In XML, nodetexts have their content encapsulated in a CDATA section.\\
In JSON, these nodes use escaped Unicode codes for special characters.

===== Sample URLs =====
  - http://api.eco.netvibes.com/types

  - http://api.eco.netvibes.com/types?format=json
