If it's possible to parse JSON with the eXist database, why is the
following code retrieving any data from my JSON document:

JSON Example.xhtml

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>First JSON Experiment</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="
http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/apps/HTML_Student/JSON_Example.css"/>
<script language="javascript" src="
http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/apps/HTML_Student/JSON_Example.js"/>
</head>
<body onload = "Setup()">
<input type = "text" id = "JSON_Text">
</input>
</body>
</html>

JSON Example.css

#JSON_Text {
    position: absolute;
    top: 200px;
    left: 300px;
    height: 25px;
    width: 300px;
}

JSON Example.js

function Setup() {
    var XMLHttp;
    var JSON_Data;

    XMLHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

    XMLHttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
         if(XMLHttp.readyState == 4){
             JSON_Data = JSON.parse(XMLHttp.responseText);
         }
    };

    XMLHttp.open("Get", "
http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/apps/HTML_Student/people.json", true);
    XMLHttp.send();


    document.getElementById("JSON_Text").value = JSON_Data;
}

People.json

{
     "People":{
          {
               "name": "Alex",
               "online": true
          },
          {
               "name": "Billy",
               "online": false
          }

     }
}
