title: Can and how do you get remote data (e.g. JSON) into AppleScript?
body: <p>I've got a Web-based API to which I would like to send POST/GET requests via AppleScript. I'd like to retrieve and parse the response such that I can feed it into another app.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible? If so, how?</p>
  
  <p>The JSON data would, for example, look like this: </p>
  
  <p><code>{"result":"success","image":,"foo", "name":"bar"}</code></p>
