I have yet to find a good website on the JSON standard.  Maybe this is because the concept is not that difficult and is grasped quickly.  I have been spending a lot of time at http://www.json.org and at first found the site to be very hard to read.   I get turn off pretty quick by websites that don’t look like any time was put into them.  The more I access it though the more I am getting used to it.  I will keep trying to find a better site, or at least a better looking easier to follow site. 

Getting turned on to JSON only recently I really like working with it.  I have been using it with ASP.NET AJAX and WebServices and it is real easy to create and use.  So for those out there who are just finding out about JSON and are finding it difficult to find good documentation… don’t fret.  It’s easier then the json.org site makes it seem at first.  You can also get information on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON but still not as detailed as I would like.  If anyone knows of any good json sites please let me know.

I just read the announcement from the www.asp.net website that ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 has been released.  Read more from Scott Guthrie’s Blog for details:

These tools have been an enormous help to me in many of my projects.  Thanks guy’s.

Here is a good article on converting XML to JSON using a webservice:  http://www.codeproject.com/soap/xml2json.asp

I am working on an ASP.NET project that uses a dropdown list with so many records that it is not practical to download them all on a page load.  What I have done is created a Google Suggest like Ajax enabled dropdown that pulls records based on the first few characters entered and the number of records returned.  This makes for a much faster page load and better user experience.  I plan on writing up an article and submitting it to www.codeproject.com.  After I right it up I will post a link to it here.  Look for it in the next week….
