Fancy embedded web search for your web site? It’s easy as pie with JSON!
Saturday, June 10th, 2006 at 12:06 amIt is great if a company offers their data to developers to use on their own sites. It is even better when it is pretty painless to embed this data into your own products. Nearly all of the Yahoo! services also offer a REST API to use results of searches in your own web sites – the difference to a lot of other services is that you could also have the data in JSON format rather than XML.
What this means? You don’t really need any Ajax trickery to use the data, a simple SCRIPT tag is enough.
