JSON DataSource Model

[Chris]

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/rqqw5v7x/

How does one grab just the data within the "Customers:" array from JSON?

Abridged version of what comes from http://northwind.servicestack.net/customers.json :

 

{"Customers":[
{"Id":"ALFKI","CompanyName":"Alfreds Futterkiste","ContactName":"Maria Anders","ContactTitle":"Sales Representative","Address":"Obere Str. 57","City":"Berlin","PostalCode":"12209","Country":"Germany","Phone":"030-0074321","Fax":"030-0076545"},
{"Id":"ANATR","CompanyName":"Ana Trujillo Emparedados y helados","ContactName":"Ana Trujillo","ContactTitle":"Owner","Address":"Avda. de la Constitución 2222","City":"México D.F.","PostalCode":"05021","Country":"Mexico","Phone":"(5) 555-4729","Fax":"(5) 555-3745"}
"}],"ResponseStatus": {}}

Hi Chris,

In order to get Customers from the Json, you must add the schema.data configuration. 
Here is a snippet:

var dsCustomer = new kendo.data.DataSource({
            transport: {
                read: {
                    url: "http://northwind.servicestack.net/customers.json",
                    dataType: "json"
                }
            },
            schema: {
                data: "Customers",
                ...
            }
        });

Please take a look at this Kendo UI Dojo by Progress which uses that dataSource in a Kendo Grid.  

I hope this helps!
