Description

It would be extremely handy to be able to request a list of all codelists in either JSON/XML/ATOM format via a simple API call
and then subsequently to be able to get any codelist from that list via another API call in JSON/XML/ATOM format

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing OpenCodelists API structure and how codelists are currently represented. Define API calls that list all codelists and retrieve an individual codelist in JSON, XML, and ATOM formats. Done means both requests work and return the requested formats.
