Though the Meetup API can send results in several formats (JSON, XML, ATOM, etc...) this client only recognized the JSON format due to is speed and ease of use. Recognizing only one format also helps cut down on the amount of client code needed to handle results. Additionally this client was designed in such a way that developers should never need to interact with the JSON result directly, but instead are given a (MeetupApiResponse)[wiki/MeetupApiResponse] object containing several useful methods with the added bonus that it is array accessible and also an iterator.
Enough high talk, let's dive into the code that developer will need to know to interact with the Meetup API if they wish to bypass the provided helper classes.
