Testing REST API with jQuery

gistfile1.js

$(document).ready(function () {

    // use JSON to structure your parameter
    // { derp: 1, herp: 'hello' } equivalent to ?derp=1&herp=hello
    var params = { };

    function onsuccess(data, status, jqxhr) {
        // data will be a native javascript object
        console.log(data);
    }
   
    // modify 'type' to select between GET, POST, DELETE, PUT
    $.ajax({ url: 'http://herp.org/api/derp', 
        data: params, 
        datatType: 'json', 
        type: 'GET' 
        success: onsuccess 
    });
