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!

Best regards,

Renne
