Passing rows from the server as JSON objects instead of JSON arrays
Passing rows from the server as JSON objects instead of JSON arrays

Hi,
I'd like to know if passing rows from the server as JSON objects instead of JSON arrays is possible.
For example:
[code]
{ "sEcho": 1, "iTotalRecords": "1", "iTotalDisplayRecords": "1", "aaData": [ [ "Gecko", "Firefox 1.0", "Win 98+ / OSX.2+", "1.7", "A" ] ]}
[/code]
works great
yet the following code does not:
[code]
{"sEcho":1,"iTotalRecords":"1","iTotalDisplayRecords":"1","aaData":[{"engineName":"Geko","browserName":"Firefox","osName":"Windows","versionNumber":"1.7","grade":"A"}],"size":1}
[/code]
