JSON > should, IMO, be sent over POST. I just replied to a similar point in another thread, but just for anyone who is reading this thread... Your point is well taken about *uploading* JSON data with POST instead of GET. In that case, using JSON.stringify() and putting the data in a POST would be a very good idea. (If you're updating data on the server, then you should be using POST instead of GET anyway, even if you weren't using JSON.) But if you're just *downloading* JSON data and not updating state on the server, then you may as well just use a GET. The query parameters from the GET will show up in your server log, but those aren't that lengthy in a typical GET request. -Mike
