Subject:		Is JASON presentation (UI) neutral?

Let me explain my concern a bit... I think it's very important to develop Web Services that are completely decoupled from a specific User Interface/View/Presentation Layer: A Web Service should be the (potential) basis for user interfaces constructed with any display technology (Swing, DHTML, etc.) My impression of JASON is that it usually transmits data that is embedded in DHTML layout. Is that correct? Thanks, -JohnR

  JSON itself is just data, without HTML. The usual way of processing it is for the JavaScript on a DHTML page to turn it into an object structure and then use that object structure to create some HTML, but there's no necessary connection to presentation.
