I = do a lot of API work - and am finding more and more api's that only have = JSON results. I fumbled around with convertchars and middle to strip out = what I need to get the data, but it's a pain in the ass :)

The = particular api  I am working with is: http://www.bueda.com/ which is a = semantic analysis engine for keywords and I am sending lists of data = through it to create a common taxonomy amongst numerous datasets, on a = common topic. So I am basically parsing, and writing to a database for = now, collecting data at this point.

I did look at using = javascript or something, but this is only the 2nd api that I have wanted = to use that didn't have xml as an ouput option and I bailed on the first = one. This one I really want to use, though I emailed the team and they = are working on an xml version, but no timeline. So I'll fumble my way = through for now.

could you just = use JS to grab the data (saving you the headache of hacking/grabbing it = in WebDNA).. and then do a hidden AJAX call to write that data to your = WebDNA db's.?  I.e. use JS as the middleman to make the jump to = webdna?
