Actually, I have one other problem after all this. I see that if I try
to construct JSON output as above, it is of the form
[{'isbn': u'1-56592-724-9', 'title': u'The Cathedral & the Bazaar'},
{'isbn': u'1-56592-051-1', 'title': u'Making TeX Work'}]
The extra 'u' seems to causing syntax error in JavaScript which is not
able to parse this response string. Any idea how I can fix this?
