What is JSONP, and why was it created?
I understand JSON, but not JSONP. Wikipedia's document on JSON[corewalking](http://corewalking.com/) is (was) the top search result for JSONP. It says this:"JSONP or 'JSON with padding' is a JSON extension wherein a prefix is specified as an input argument of the call itself."Huh? What call? That doesn't make any sense to me. JSON is a data format. There's no call.

The 2nd search result is from some guy named Remy, who writes this about JSONP:"JSONP is script tag injection, passing the response from the server in to a user specified function."I can sort of understand that, but it's still not making any sense. So what is JSONP? Why was it created (what problem does it solve)? And why would I use it? Addendum: I've just created a new page for JSONP on Wikipedia; it now has a clear and thorough description of JSONP, based on jvenema's answer. Jordanwilliom1 (talk) 06:46, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
