Hi Liz,
That's a common issue. Suppose you receive the JSON mentioned below, once you get the value of data attribute which is a JSON object in string format, evaluate it using eval() method of javascript and it will be converted to JSON.

I can use net.sf.json to do the conversion directly, which produces satisfactory strings, but that doesn't cope with the XML output format case, and I can't figure out how to pass it into my JSON output. If I do that with a String field, then obviously it is output as a string value, not as a JSON object, which isn't what I want.
