Question

I\'m new to clojurescript and would like to do a deeper dive by implementing a previously written application purely in clojurescript, but am at a loss with respect to to implem

The way I did it is slightly different. I don't know why the way that Marc suggested in his answer didn't work for me. Hopefully this is also useful.

I used goog.net.XhrIo directly, rather than the xhr-connection wrapper.

(defn callback [reply]
    (let [v (js->clj (.getResponseJson (.-target reply)))] ;v is a Clojure data structure
        (your-function-here v)))

(.send goog.net.XhrIo url callback)

The main difference that I can see is that I've used .-target to get the property of the JSON object, rather than calling target.

It's worth noting that maps in v that have been created from JSON objects are keyed by strings not keywords.
