    copied!<p>I was looking at the 14 days of jquery</p> <p><a href="http://jquery14.com/day-01/jquery-14" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jquery14.com/day-01/jquery-14</a></p> <p>and I saw this and it got me to wondering is there a point to use getJson anymore? </p> <blockquote> <p>JSON and script types auto-detected by content-type (jQuery.ajax Documentation, Commit 1, Commit 2)</p> <p>If the response to an Ajax request is returned with a JSON mime type (application/json), the dataType defaults to “json” (if no dataType is specified). Additionally, if the response to an Ajax request is returned with a JavaScript mime type (text/javascript or application/x-javascript) , the dataType defaults to “script” (if no dataType is specified), causing the script to automatically execute.</p> </blockquote> <p>First I can see such a huge benefit of this. In jquery 1.3 I came to a situation where in some cases I would return a partial view and some cases I would return a json result (asp.net mvc). </p> <p>It worked in firefox but in no other browser and one of the problems was I basically had to tell jquery to either do json or text/html. </p> <p>With it automatically detecting I could get away with this. Anyways I found a solution around this at that time.</p> <p>So now it just makes me wonder if there is any point to using GetJson.</p> <p>I am also unsure how to set these JavaScript mime types? I am assuming that if you return a JsonResult from asp.net mvc it will set it. but I am not sure if I was just sending a text result if it would be set( I am not sure if ContentResult would set this).</p>
