JSON Examples
JSON Examples
I have been having a hard time finding real uses for JSON. Most JSON pages explain what JSON is and how it can be used to replace XML, but not much in the way of practical uses of JSON. The JSON AJAX Web Chat Tutorial that I wrote is a good real world example, but I would love to find some really good creative uses.

Let me know if you know of any good ones at ryan (at) DynamicAJAX (dot) com

Here are some links to help you understand what JSON is:
