What reader will work with this Array / JSON data?

[Larry Q]

I'm calling a RESTful web service using the jsonp proxy for this URL:

http://fastmotorcycleservice.cloudap...svc/list/Bruno

The data that is returned is a sort-of mix between JSON and an array. Looks like so:

["Test","Hello","Bananna","Apple"]

For the life of me, I cannot get a Reader to work with that data. I've tried using both Array and Json readers. Here's the code I'm using with an Ext.data.Store:

   

    Ext.define('SearchResult', {
        extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
        config: {
            fields: [
                {name: 'name', type: 'string'}
            ]
        }
    });


    var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store',{
        model: 'SearchResult',
        autoLoad: true,
        proxy: {
        type: 'jsonp',
        url: 'http://fastmotorcycleservice.cloudapp.net/FastMotorCycleListService.svc/list/Bruno',
        // reader: {
        // type: 'json',
        // root:''
        // }
        reader: {
            type: 'array',
             exception: function(rdr, resp, err, eOpt) {
                  alert('error!');
                }            
        }
            
        }
    });

Any ideas what I can do to get that data format into my store? Thanks much.

I am not sure if any of the predefined readers can interpret this data, so i think you're stuck writing your own.
The format should not be too hard to parse, though; i would suggest two alternatives:
1. extend from Json Reader, override the read method, modify the incoming string so it is valid json and let the json reader do the rest
2. extend from Reader and implement the full API yourself, parsing the string by hand using String.split('","') to extract your tokens

just a starting point, i am not really familiar with the reader API so maybe there probably are some more pitfalls to those alternatives..

Just as an fyi for @"Larry Q", The array reader can read data like:

[
    ["field1", "field2"],
    ["foo", "bar"]
]

Thanks for the replies. I'll try mucking around with the data string and get it into an acceptable format. Appreciate the help!
