Are you absolutely certain you need to do the rendering client-side?
I've found it much easier to render complex HTML server-side, and then
use javascript to load that block of HTML.
When I tried to pull down json, and then render json into html, I
found myself recreating kid templates with javascript (yuck) or
learning some other javascript templating system.
I use jQuery for javascript, and that library has this trick: (I
suspect every javascript library has a similar technique)
$("div#someID").load("http://example.com/html_fragment";, {'a':1, 'b':
2})
That will replace the contents of a div with id "someID" with the
results of the ajax call to the URL http://example.com/html_fragment.
That last dictionary/object stuff will get passed along with the HTTP
request. So I can use those parameters to do
Just my two cents. I found it very difficult to render JSON into
html. A good templating system is not trivial!
