http://prototypejs.org/api/ajax/request
See the bottom paragraph titled "Evaluating JSON headers". The X-
JSON header is an HTTP header your server sends, whose value is in
JSON form. For example in PHP, you might write:
header('X-JSON: {"response":"valid","msg":"All your base are belong
to us."}');
As the docs say, "Prototype automatically does so [evals the JSON
header] and passes it as the final argument of each callback (except,
obviously, onCreate)..."
Example:
new Ajax.Request('/your/url', {
onSuccess: function(transport, json) {
// Remainder of the code
}
});
