You probably want to look at JSON. This is a serialization of any JS object. Javascript has built in methods to serialize an object and to create an object. The encoding is pretty straight forward and it is easy to write equivalents in J. Note that for data there is direct correspondence between a J boxed array and a JS nested array. You can then exchange JSON formatted data with ajax between J and JS.
There is lots of web info on JSON. JD (new JDB) uses JSON to exchange database tables with clients. Many clients (C, C++, C#, etc) have similar methods for JSON data exchange.
