JSONP - It's what's for breakfast

Good news, everybody!

I've added JSONP support to the data APIs (the image APIs don't need it). JSONP allows web pages living on your sites to call APIs on the TravellerMap.com site without any server-side work - it's all in the JavaScript.

More details: JSONP in the TravellerMap.com API Documentation

Here's a short introduction to using JSONP from jQuery which is my favorite JavaScript framework. (You'll note that I don't use any frameworks on the TravellerMap.com site; I was loathe to touch them when I started, and the site was a grand experiment in building everything from scratch. But I digress...) Ω
