I've had to deal with JSON before, but it was long ago and far away. I suspect it is not something most sysadmin/netadmin types deal with on a daily basis. It's not hard, just not familar.
To that end, if RIPE could produce a template/example in a few popular languages (perl, python, ruby, php) to download the JSON and parse into the native language data structure that could get a LOT more folks using the data...
Javascript: At https://www.bartschnet.de/lib/js/XMLHttpRequest.js you can find my Javascript-function which I use to directly communicate with a JSON-API via POST from a browser. url: API-URL object: Javascript-object to be converted to JSON and sent to API ( can be "{}") if you don't want to send any data callback: Javascript-function which gets a javascript-object converted from JSON-POST-result as only parameter PHP: You can directly decode JSON to PHP-objects/arrays with: http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php or encode any PHP data type including objects and arrays to JSON with: http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php Just do not forget JSON-strings are UTF-8!
