jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hello again.

I have another request... (but I want to contribute with code this time...)

Could it be possible to treat local data as JSON data? For example, I have this column model:

       [
            {name:'id', jsonmap:'itemid', key:true, label:'Id'},
            {name:'name', jsonmap:'name', label:'Item'},
            {name:'price_euro', jsonmap:'price', formatter:BCListExample.euro, label:'Price in €'},
            {name:'price_dollar', jsonmap:'price', formatter:BCListExample.dollar, label:'Price in $'},
            {name:'stock', jsonmap:'stock', label:'Stock'},
        ]

When I update a row, I commit the changes to the server and fetch only that row again to replace the grid row with the data returned by the server so I use setRowData to update the grid. But setRowData access to the object by looking into 'name' field ignoring 'jsonmap' and (as I saw in the source code) not resolving 'dot notation'.

I've changed this to consider 'dot notation' and jsonmap but I think the correct way is to consider localdata as JSON data.

What is your opinion?

Cheers and thanks!
