I completed the AJAX tutorial and read through the JSON api forum threads, yet within all of that info there isn't a clear documented step that shows how to get JSON data from a REST call and display it to the screen.

The attached .capx is using the AJAX plugin and I can successfully retrieve a json object from the URL. I can verify this by opening the browser console and see the json object. But I can't display it onscreen. Is there a conversion step which I am missing?

For some reason the file uploader is broken so here's another url...

Thanks for that, you're right about the tag.
