GETTING JSON WORKING [SOLVED] - DOCUMENTATION LACKING

Since the maintainer fails to provide documentation on the steps to get JSON working, here is a good (working) example...

Make sure that Views API mode is NOT ENABLED. The description of this setting explains it all:

My gripe with module developers is this: They seem to be more interested in providing a trophy module that works for them, but does not work for the majority of Open Source Community users.

I hope this doesn't sound harsh, but I think Drupal should award (with ratings system) developers that provide thoroughly documented projects.

Make sure that Views API mode is NOT ENABLED. The description of this setting explains it all:

Go to the configuration of your Views display which produces the JSON output.
Click on the Settings link of the JSON data document format.
Make sure that Views API mode is not enabled. The description of this setting explains it all:

Not using View API mode means the JSON gets output directly and the server ceases normal page processing. Using it means the server does not cease processing after outputting the JSON. This allows the Views API to be used with the view without having to prematurely terminate page processing.
