Can and how do you get remote data (e.g. JSON) into AppleScript?

Question

I\'ve got a Web-based API to which I would like to send POST/GET requests via AppleScript. I\'d like to retrieve and parse the response such that I can feed it into another app.

Answer 1

I needed a version which didn't require any new dependencies (like installing an app). So I made a applescript only json encoder/decoder.
