JSON help - how to access data

[unomateo]

I have a php page that encodes and array to json

$array = array("name"=>"timmy", "age"=>"34");
$str = json_encode($array);
echo $str;

how do I read the json response in javascript using onLoad?

here is the link to the json data

You could use eval but i would get a json parser. Are you working with any js include libraries?

No, I'm not using any libraries.

I'm trying to follow the yahoo developer network tutorial on JSON, but it just isn't working for me.

do you recommend any libraries?

 

[j4606]

If you havn't looked into using a library then you most likely don't need one. There is an open source parser at

http://www.json.org/json.js.

I finally realized that the tutorials were not just sending the json data. They were added a function to the json data, then using the call back to read the jason data.

no library needed and so far I'm able to access data across domains... this seems to be exactly what I need
