difference between $.getJSON and $.get

Question

Is there really a difference in these two calls? If you use getJSON, you still have to declare format=json in the url...

Answer 1

The differences between $.getJSOn and $.get are in parameters:

1. $.getJSON accepts plain objects as data while $.get accepts plain objects or string.
2. $.get has dataType parameter.

So, using $.get with dataType: JSON would work exactly the same as $.getJSON.
