jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Here is the complete contents of a much shorter JSON response from the server:

{records:0,total:0,page:1,where:'Country is Bermuda, and Location is Boston',whereJson:'{"Country":["BMU"],"Location":["Boston"]}',rows:[]}

Even this response results in an "Invalid JSON" error.

Thanks... this will help a lot.

More questions:

1) Please confirm: the JSON used in coding and the JSON used in the data work must be formatted differently?

2) Could you also elaborate on what this is referring to:  "the so named “d” property from the response (used in certain systems)."

What 'certain systems' is this referring to?  If I have complete control over the JSON sent to the browser, do I have to worry about this?

3) "With version 3.6.5 we switch from ajax complete to ajax success event" --> Does this have any impact on my coding, especially in the handlers for 'loaderror', 'loadcomplete', etc. ?

4) This change to how JSON data is processed was not mentioned in the 'jqGrid 3.6.5 changes and fixes', yet is a major breaking change. I would expect that most current implementation will break when converting.  Are there other changes that we should be aware of?

Thanks,

Glen

For the record, in case others wonder about this...

From the JQuery site linked by Tony:

JSON is a data-interchange format with syntax rules that are stricter than those of JavaScript's object literal notation. For example, all strings represented in JSON, whether they are properties or values, must be enclosed in double-quotes. 

I was not clear on the difference between the 'object literal notation' and 'JSON'... I thought they were the same thing, but see now that they are similar, but different.

And, as per the  www.json.org web site, all strings must be quoted, but values such as numbers and booleans should not be quoted.

Thanks Tony!
