JSON, URL-encode, and UTF-8

[Monte Goulding]

I think we would need to see the API to know about the urlEncoding. Is it a parameter in your query string? If you need to urlEncode it will be the last thing you do. If you are using one of the script libraries the UTF8 encoding may be done for you. If you are using mergJSON then UTF8 encode anything that's not ASCII before you JSON encode.
