I've seen books on JSON but since I always thought it has to do0 with Java, I wasn't interested. Maybe I should take another look. This post describes JSON nicely. "In JavaScript an object is basically an associative array. JSON takes that syntax and makes it generally applicable." Um... cool. (Aside: there is so much to learn, I find new stuff like this (which is often obvious to other people) every day. It is both the blessing and the curse of our times.) Reference: The Dave Winer quote that inspired this. More on the great JSON-XML Debate.
