the problem is that exhibit can't read any old json; it needs it in a
particular form where the name "items" is bound to an array of items.
You can write a little javascript converter to get the data in the right
form; exhibit will take care of fetching the data, will give it to your
converter, and deal with what you give back. API is
link to the data this way:
<link href="delicious feed" type="application/jsonp" rel="exhibit/data"
ex:converter="myConverter" />
then write the ex:converter script in your document
function myConverter(inputJson, url, link) {
return array of items in exhibit json format
}
}
