Hi Francois,

I guess I would go a pretty straightforward way and try to use a 
JsonReader and Store connected to the grid. In that case the JSON 
response would have to have a defined format (unless you rewrite the 
JsonReader). If you want to make the request and decoding of JSON 
yourself and just work with the array you could connect the grid to an 
ArrayStore and feed your array directly into the store.
