I may be asking an odd question, but webmasters seem like a decent place to post this.
I'm in the search for an accurate, easy API (such as using JSON or XML) so I can use my web application.
I've been trying Google's secret API, but it's dependency isn't that good because of parsing the string (weird JSON format that PHP sometimes return incorrect data or truncates the string due to parsing error, but Google's API is fair but can be improved.
So, all I'm asking is your current best currency API out there, I want to have them to include documented API so I can use it with PHP.
Cheers.

We looked at this for an implementation earlier this year. We considered 2:
European Central Bank
refer : ECB
free
lists exchange rates against the Euro
Limited number of currencies
XE
refer : XE
USD540 a year for daily lookups
available for a variety of base currencies
very wide currency support
In the end, we went with XE, as we needed to support some currencies the ECB didn't have.
