The requestXML() function takes two parameters, but the requestJSON() only takes one currently (this will soon be fixed to allow a second attribute argument).

Http.requestXML(url, xpath)

Http.requestJSON(url)

The JSON API returns an object converted from the JSON. You can use "." to traverse it.

i.e.

var result = Http.requestJSON("http://api.geonames.org/postalCodeSearchJSON?maxRows=1&username=botlibre&postalcode=92590"); result = result.postalCodes.get(#element, 0).placeName;


The get() can be used to get an element from a JSON array.
