FYI, since jQuery 1.2 getJSON can do cross domain communications.

http://docs.jquery.com/Release.....g_JSONP.29

What I find is really lacking in the jQuery framework is methods to manipulate JSON itself. I would like to be able to do things like this:

$.JSONdecode('[{a:"b"},{c:"d"}]');
$.JSONenconde([{a:"b"},{c:"d"}]);

Even the getJSON methond in jQuery use a simple eval to parse the JSON.. It might sound trivial, but imho it’s not the *best* solution.

pierre,

the function is executed when JSON returns and evaluates withing the browser. As for the script object, we can do that but I found that sometimes Firefox is too picky and ends up throwing errors… I don’t know why.

i don’t follow under what conditions yourFunction() is executed. perhaps after the given callback is run? could you provide a less brief usage example? :0)

should one clean up in the callback and remove the script object from head?
$(”head script:last-child”).remove();

Ah - I see - i commented pretty late yesterday evening and oversaw the JSOD-JSON aspect (JS on demand)

.mario, the getJSON function returns XMLHttpRequest object which is unsuitable when you want to perform cross-domain JSON communication. This is the reason why I needed to write this module.
