JavaScript XMLHttpRequest using JsonP

by

JSONP does not use XMLHttpRequests.

The reason JSONP is used is to overcome cross-origin restrictions of XHRs.

Instead, the data is retrieved via a script.

function jsonp(url, callback) {
    var callbackName="jsonp_callback_" + Math.round(100000 * Math.random());
    window[callbackName] = function(data) {
        delete window[callbackName];
        document.body.removeChild(script);
        callback(data);
    };

    var script = document.createElement('script');
    script.src = url + (url.indexOf('?') >= 0 ? '&' : '?') + 'callback=' + callbackName;
    document.body.appendChild(script);
}

jsonp('http://www.helloword.com', function(data) {
   alert(data);
});

In interest of simplicity, this does not include error handling if the request fails. Use script.onerror if you need that.
