title: Cross-domain JSON request?
body: <p>Question:</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to use JSON accross domains, but all i find is JSON parsers, which I don't need...
  <br>
  I've read that it's possible to do cross-domain requests with JSON, 
  but so far, all I see is implementations that use XMLHttpRequest...<br>
  - which means you can't use cross-domain requests, at least not outside IE 8...
  <br>
  I've been on <a href="http://www.json.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.json.org/</a>, but all I find is either parsers or useless.<br />
  <br />
  The best I've found with google so far is <br />
  <a href="http://devpro.it/JSON/files/JSONRequest-js.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://devpro.it/JSON/files/JSONRequest-js.html</a>
  <br /> 
  but this is rather a mess, doesn't work cross domain, and intra-domain neither - or rather not at all...</p>
  
  <pre><code>var the_object = {}; 
  var http_request = new XMLHttpRequest();
  http_request.open( "GET", url, true );
  http_request.onreadystatechange = function () {
      if ( http_request.readyState == 4 &amp;&amp; http_request.status == 200 ) {
              the_object = JSON.parse( http_request.responseText );
          }
  };
  http_request.send(null);
  </code></pre>
