Thanks for the further tips, James...I'm sure it'll all come clear...(eventually :o)
So, am I to understand, that after reading http://jehiah.com/projects/cfjson/ that CFJSON will translate my json-formatted javascript data returned from an ajax call into CF-formatted data, ready-to-use on my calling page without having to write js translation looping procedures, etc.? In essence, CFJSON was written to solve my problem of getting JSON-formatted data from a CFC back into CF-formatted data so I can use standard CF operations on it?
