make reporting api developer friendly
The Xero reporting api needs an overhaul to enable to report content in a format that makes it much easier to parse and retrieve data from it. The current way the data is represented requires custom parsers to be created at the consumer's end

Making a reporting API developer friendly means focusing on clarity, flexibility, and ease of integration. Instead of throwing complex structures at users, it should offer clean documentation, straightforward endpoints, and examples that feel natural to follow. Good reporting tools should reduce the friction that often comes with digging through raw data, turning it into something accessible with minimal effort. Error messages and responses need to be helpful, guiding developers toward solutions instead of leaving them guessing. When APIs are intuitive, they save time and help teams build faster without constant back-and-forth troubleshooting. This kind of design especially benefits ruby on rails developers, who often look for ways to plug in APIs smoothly and keep their workflows clean. By removing unnecessary complexity and focusing on developer experience, the reporting API can feel less like a hurdle and more like a useful teammate in the coding process.

Xero, can you respond? The current reports endpoint is barely useable.
