JSON is quite simple - it's almost an array, similar to the ones we have in Xbase++. Take a look here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Json

If you just want to create a data response, it should be not more than 10 lines of code to format a JSON array.

Hector, Tom, thanks for the info...

Tom, i'll try to implement your approach, as i hate to add libraries if i don't absolutely need to...

ot4xb has some great stuff, i just haven't needed to use it yet..

Bobby and I have had to convert code recently to read .JSON because the City of NY changed their procedures.

It's a text-readable format that is not difficult to convert to any format you need.

We found out later, however, that the NYC Open Data system, even though it was based on JSON, we could still request the data in CSV format. It was just a small change in the URL.

Roger,

This is strictly for internal use... We're trying to implement ajax (again) for our online. i passed on previous developers asking for json requests, but it's much easier for them (doing javascript) if i can give them json.

so, any dc_json_in() and dc_json_out() functions yet ??
