Kendoui Datasource & Json Issue

[tundecanhelp]

I am trying to use kendoui datasource to pull list of post into a listview with Hierarchical data binding from a Wordpress site using json. Please point me to the right direction in doing this, i have tried using kendoui datasource but no luck on this.

Below is  the code  i am  working with so far.

01.var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
02.  transport: {
03.    read: {
04.      url: "http://www.wordpresssite.com/category/mj/mask-videos/nigerian-mj/?json=1",
05.      contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
06.      dataType: "jsonp", // "jsonp" is required for cross-domain requests; use "json" for same-domain requests
07.    }
08.  },
09. schema: {
10.    data: function(response) {
11.      return response.posts; // twitter's response is { "results": [ /* results */ ] }
12.    }}
13.});
14.dataSource.fetch(function(){
15.  var data = this.data();
16.  console.log(data.length);
17.  console.log(data[0].title);
18.  dataSource.sync();
19.});

Hi,

Representation of hierarchical data in Kendo UI can be accomplished via the HierarchicalDataSource component which extends the DataSource component. Be aware that at this time, the only widget that is aware of the datasource hierarchy is the TreeView. However, since the HierarchicalDataSource inherits the DataSource component, you can share the root level of the hierarchy with any DataSource-enabled component.
