title: How Jsonp Is Different from JSON
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
JSONP is just JSON wrapped in a callback function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
JSONP is useful for making cross domain requests, which are often otherwise forbidden by browsers for security reasons.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// an example of JSON
|
||
|
|
{"weapon":"nunchucks","headband":"yellow"}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// an example of JSONP
|
||
|
|
myCallback({"weapon":"nunchucks","headband":"yellow"});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then to access the data stored in your JSONP, you define the callback function:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
myCallback = function(data){
|
||
|
|
alert(data.weapon);
|
||
|
|
};
