I am just wondering if you someone could shed light on how this js/json application works?

I am trying to make something similar but can''t find how it was done and whether it is server side rendered or client side. etc.

Thanks in advance. JJ

Yes, my question is how can you achieve the .js url to output different json blob depending on the url argument passed. E.g. The same url when passed the following argument returns the output of an article.

This is a question for stackoverflow.com. Send me an email with what language you are working in, and I can point you in the right direction.

Thanks mate.

I am trying to find out how I can send you an email but I am a bit lost here. Could you please help me how. Should I provide my email address through the comments area?
