in thread Perl json parser and JSONP issue

Well you are right... it`s kind of confusing... So if I am right, every time I create and record a JSON, I have to convert it to JSONP with wrapping it with the function before calling it back...

    Typically you'd configure your web server (or some other piece of middleware) to convert your JSON to JSONP on the fly. I'm surprised there isn't an Apache mod_jsonp that I can point you towards.

      Thank you. Your help is most appreciated. It was enough :) I`ve understand it. However it`s kind of confusing to me that JSONP stuff... By the way... can`t I just have a js file with a plain

      var Obj = { foo: function() {return me;}, data: "str", id: 0x8888 };

      can`t tell what`s the big fuss of JSON.

        "By the way... can`t I just have a js file"

        You can.

        "can`t tell what`s the big fuss of JSON."

        If you serve your data as a Javascript file, it can only be read by Javascript. If you serve it as JSON, it can be read by any language which has a JSON module available. (Which is pretty much all of them.)
