Summary
MTGXML is a bundle of XML files containing Magic the Gathering card info. Think a set of spoilers, but in XML format, so they can be processed by software. (For example, magicquery.)
The XML files are generated by an updated version of Magicripper.
One of my goals is to provide as much card information as possible, using as little XML as possible. For example, there is no <color> field, because a card's color(s) can usually be derived from its mana cost. 1 It is up to the software processing the XML to figure such things out, if necessary.
The XML currently includes all the major sets, Unglued, Planechase, Archenemy, Masters Edition I-IV, and a few duel decks. More decks, special sets, and Unhinged, will be added eventually.
