Hi Matthew,
Here is a quick sketch, how to define an XoWiki Object,
that outputs some content in different formats. Save the content below
under xowiki/www/prototypes/multiple-output-types.page
After that, browse to http:/.../xowiki/multiple-output-types and the page
is loaded from disc into the CR and creates an xowiki object.
You can edit this afterwards online. If you want to modify and
reload the .page-file, go to xowiki/admin and delete the object
in the CR, and fetch it again like above.

I am just a sample service that can return its content in different
formats. <br>Call me e.g. with format
<a href='multiple-output-types?format=xml'>xml</a>,
<a href='multiple-output-types?format=csv'>csv</a>, or
<a href='multiple-output-types?format=json'>json</a>.
