JSON _process_json is lacking processing of header columns

All,

When trying to get the a URL load call to create the grid column as well as the grid data, I’ve noticed I always get JSON parsing error. Looking into dhtmlxgrid_json.js I’ve noticed that the dhtmlXGridObject.prototype._process_json method is lacking what the _process_xml function has which is the this._parseHead(top); call.
I was under the impression that the JSON load function calls are compatible with the XML calls. It seems that it’s not the case.
This is blocking us from moving forward since all of our back end needs to be JSON rather than XML and it seem like a workaround having to load the JSON payload myself eval it and send the different parts to the grid constructor and parse method. This is a sever that exists for the XML and should exist for JSON.
I’m running DHX v.3.0 build 110707. Please let me know if this forum is the best way to address the issue or I should open an urgent case through our account.

Regards
-Gabriel

This code seems to handle the data section only. That is it will process the rows array to add the data into the already defined grid. There is nothing in there, as far as I can tell, that can allow us to define the header structure in JSON and dynamically create the grid’s columns.
As you can see here: dhtmlx.com/docs/products/doc … index.html
You can perform that using XML.
