I thought about this as well, but how did you go about transporting
the json?

At the moment I've taken Aria's suggestion of using XML-RPC, that's
working fine via the XMLRPC::WEBrickServlet. But ultimately I want to
use Rack instead. An example of a simple Rack-based JSON servlet would
be awesome. Anyone have one?
