clipped from blog.reindel.com While exploring the options for traversing JSON, I discovered that there is no official W3C documentation, or even a draft. As a subset of the ECMAScript language specification, it will probably remain under the governance of ECMA International. So unlike XPath, which is a commonly accepted language for traversing XML, JSON must rely on JavaScript’s object notation. As such, some custom JavaScript will always be required (i.e. – no jQuery selectors). Some progress has been made in addressing the overarching need, but I maintain a high level of specificity in the following snippet. Getting JSON using jQuery is extremely straightforward. Just like $.ajax(), there is a $.getJSON() method, with a call to a file, and a function to pass the data through for parsing. The common $.each() method in jQuery can be used to traverse the “nodes” (keys) that you indicate. You could just as easily use your own for loop.

Make your code easy to read h1 {} h1#logo { font-size: 2em; color: #000; } h2 {} h2.title { font-size: 1.8em; font-weight: normal; } 3. Separate code into blocks /* Structure */ /* Typography */ /* Links */ /* Lists, images, etc. */ 4. Stop using so many divs! 5. Style everything at once * { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

So, the host name for a web server is often www as it is ftp for an FTP server, and news or nntp for a USENET news server etc. These host names then appear as DNS subdomain names, as in “www.example.com”. The use of such subdomain names is not required by any technical or policy standard; indeed, the first ever web server was called “nxoc01.cern.ch”,[16] and many web sites exist without a www subdomain prefix, or with some other prefix such as “www2″, “secure” etc. These subdomain prefixes have no consequence; they are simply chosen names. Many web servers are set up such that both the domain by itself (e.g., example.com) and the www subdomain (e.g., www.example.com) refer to the same site, others require one form or the other, or they may map to different web sites.
