In this recipe, we make a browser app ask data from a web service (Yahoo stock data) in JSON format, decode that data, and dynamically build up the web page showing the data.

Getting ready

How to do it...

Look at the code in stockviewer_dart:

import 'dart:html';

    void LoadData() {
      var stock = "GOOG";
      var request = "http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20yahoo.finance...
