So it means that no patternes related to JSON are covered in this book? I was looking for it, but if has only clinged to xml, better I stop now.

I agree with Gaz, coz of my own experience with xml that made ajax a too difficult experience for me. Now I feel more relaxed with JSON and the best part is its usage for web services from Yahoo, Google and others. So no need to go through those proxy hacks for cross server ajax.
