Hi,
I went down this road when I started with DHTMLX and was unable to get the JSON
interface to work properly.
I was able to match the structure of the JSON as documented, but it did not
render. I went with XML and some javascript config commands instead. I suggest
hand editing some JSON to match the docs and getting it work before taking the
time to code it further. I came to the conclusion that some of the JSON
interface just didn't work yet as documented.
The config commands can be submitted in the JSON (or XML), but they also can be
called via javascript, and that might be the way to go.
Let me know if you get it working. I'd be interested.
