An organized list of the mods in each pack?

[Moonj64]

Hey all,
I find that with each generation of packs I have to build (or find) a spreadsheet to compare the packs so I'm trying to write a program that will automatically pull the data about all the mod packs (and the mods they contain) to generate a comparison spreadsheet but I cannot seem to find a consistently formatted list of the mods in each pack.

I found the modpacks.xml and thirdparty.xml files in appdata but it seems that they don't have consistent formatting as far as listing the mods goes, making parsing it difficult (the packs have good formatting, it's the list of mods in each pack that is inconsistent).

Anyone know where I can find a consistently formatted list of the modpacks and the mods contained in each pack?

Try the modpack changelogs. The link is in the black bar above here on the forums.

That appears to have the information I need but like the two xml files it's in a format that is not easily parsed. I was hoping there was another, better formatted, xml or json file I could feed into my program to get the data.
