JSON data's format isn't available

The link to the Flickr API with JSON query string opens flickr's data in xml format, but isn't json.

JSON format isn't available from flickr?

Link to the API in my code looks so:

var flickerAPI = "http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?jsoncallback=?";

And if i'm going in chrome to this link i see data in the xml!

To see JSON data you have to check this url - with query string - 'format=json' https://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?format=json
