In order to get around the same origin policy, we will be using JSONP (JSON with Padding). One exception under the same origin policy is the <script> tag, so scripts can be passed across domains. JSONP uses this exception in order to pass data across domains as a script by adding padding to make the JSON object look like a script. In JavaScript, when a function with a parameter is invoked, we call the function and add a parameter. With JSONP, we pass the JSON feed as a parameter to a function; thereby, we pad our object into a function callback. This function into which the JSON feed has been padded has to be used on the client-side to retrieve the JSON feed. Let's take a quick look at a JSONP example:
In this example, we are padding the students object into the myCallback function and we have to reuse the myCallback function in order to retrieve...
