Using JSONP, JSON with padding

What does it do?
JSONP is essentially a way around Same Origin Policy. Same Origin Policy limits requests made with XMLHttpRequest to servers on the same domain as the page running the JavaScript. JSONP offers you a way around this with a little server-side cooperation. JSONP works with a little <script> tag injection as an alternative.
