In this example we'll use The Beatles' albums data from a free data service called MySafeInfo. You can view the configurable options for this particular dataset by clicking here. Or you can view the raw data for this example by clicking here.
This example relies on JavaScript and uses mysafeinfo.com to retrieve The Beatles' albums data in JSON format. MySafeInfo is a free service we offer to software developers to provide test data in a simple, flexible manner, in a variety of formats, including XML, JSON, JSONP, CSV, and more.
Here are some additional resources I came across while preparing this example.
