Description
This would be useful: dataType plugins for $.ajax() et al.
Plugins could register themselves to be placed between the ajax call and the success callback so that we could say, for instance,
$.ajax({ dataType: 'yaml', … })
and automatically be given an object. The plugin might be a simple function that accepts the response text and returns whatever is appropriate.
Perhaps a more advanced plugin could specify that it wants the response to be passed to it as XML, what response mime types it accepts, etc. For instance,
$.ajax({ dataType: 'plist', … })
might pass an XML Property List to the plugin, which would return an object deserialized from from it.

The new ajax architecture is pluggable and is designed to allow custom dataTypes. Documentation is needed but it's there.
