Not too bad, FYI in NZ so its 9:45 here- premium coding time... if I could
just be bothered to start up my dev env...
Im pretty sure from my testing that the javascript execution just hung after
the evalJSON (at least in IE) when we were trying that- we had to manually
eval the responseText to get something we could iterate.
i suppose using data would work, I'm guessing this is because [ ... ] is not
valid json, yeah?
If there's no other way, i dont think the performance overhead is huge, more
of a readability issue and remembering I have to use .data
So to access this data, assuming it was returned in the body:
$A(xhr.responseText.evalJSON().data).each(function (hashObj) {
alert(hashObj); });
And via a header, which I think the key is x-json?
(in ASP.NET, response.addHeader("x-json:{data:[{hash1...},{hash2...}]}") I
think will put the data in an x-json header)
then $A(xhr.responseJSON).each(function (hashObj) { alert(hashObj); });
I've not done much json, but I like the ability to get objects back instead
of having to get text and parse it.
