Liked your article and… you should always remmember the Security Breach using JSON with your API inputs, because it can includes user malicious functions.

Hey Ryan any chances we might see an article on the wufoo’s searching on data entering page - the page where its written “Display entries that meet any/all of the following conditions” I really need to do similar thing in one of my project, now not sure how to do advance searching I mean how do I construct php query from an html form submitted by user, there many ways, not sure which one suits best :(

@ Ryan “This article is for those cases when the display logic is easier kept in the JavaScript, but you still need a way to pass the data to the display logic.” Yepp, absolutly!

Ryan, thanks for a great read. I whole-heartedly agree with everything you said. AJAX has all the hype, but I’m not convinced it is always the best implementation. I agree that server processed JavaScript is a good way to keep everything all in one place, keep your code a little shorter, and make thing easier to debug.

You should go back to some of your old entries (such as “replacing trackback with blog search”) and remove all the spam comments… it’s kind of embarrassing!

Joshua, I have found that as I write more complex JavaScript, the redundancy of writing something on the server and then modifying it with the JavaScript at a later point is too much. So, if I have a few routines with complicated logic that control the display on the page, it is easier for me to keep all of the logic in one place than it is to break it up. This article is for those cases when the display logic is easier kept in the JavaScript, but you still need a way to pass the data to the display logic.

Hi Ryan,

I suggest you have a look at Prototype's first release candidate for version 1.5.1 which comes with full JSON support.

Great article - as usual!

On a different note I like to use JSON for test data driven rather than CSV or XML. I wrote a post about it. http://blog.incisif.net/2006/12/19/csv-xml-or-json-for-data-driven-testing.aspx
