I'm experimenting with Sunlight Foundation Capitol words API and Webpy.
I'm able to retrieve the data from sunlight and store the results in a Webpy variable ($data) which is pass to the template.
It is possible to pass a templetor (webpy template system) variable to a Javascript and extract the results values?
I found a couple of JSON lectures and videos which I tried but so far can make it happen. I think that I might need to write the data into a JSON file before I could use it but at the same time I question myself because the results from sunlight are already formatted as JSON.
Here are two objects from the results: It would be a great help if some one could suggest how to manage this JSON with a Javascript or provide some options. Thanks in advance
