This morning, I got an instant message from a programmer who’s getting deeply into their Ajax recently. The conversation went something like this (I paraphrase and dramatise at least a little):
Morning! I need to manipulate a JSON feed so that [this JSON parser] will recognise it.
Here’s what I get out of the JSON feed right now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <module-slots type="array"> <module-slot> <title>Module3</title> ...
“Umm…” I began, not quite sure how to break this news, “That’s XML, not JSON.”
“Is that a problem?” comes the reply.
