[Seaside] Re: passing json between seaside and javascript

[Paul DeBruicker]

JQAjax used to have callback:json: but it got lost in the Seaside 3.1
reshuffle.  I think it does what you want.


JQAjax>>callback: aBlock json: anObject
	"Register aBlock as a secondary callback. anObject is a reference to a
Javascript object on the client-side. anObject will be serialized to a JSON
string, sent back to the server, deserialized from JSON to nested Smalltalk
objects, and result passed into aBlock.
	
	Note: The serialization of Javascript objects to JSON requires a modern web
browser with native JSON support or the JSJsonDeploymentLibrary to be
loaded. Objects that recursively refer to themselves and objects that
contain or objects that contain methods might not be serializable and cause
the web browser to loop inifinitely or throw an exception."

	self
		callback: [ :value | aBlock value: (JSJsonParser parse: value) ] 
		value: (JSJson new stringify: anObject)
