    <i>// the fields config option will internally create an <a href="output/Ext.data.Record.html" ext:cls="Ext.data.Record">Ext.data.Record</a></i>
    <i>// constructor that provides mapping <b>for</b> reading the record data objects</i>
    <a href="output/Ext.data.DataReader.html#Ext.data.DataReader-fields" ext:member="fields" ext:cls="Ext.data.DataReader">fields</a>: [
        <i>// map Record&#39;s <em>'firstname'</em> field to data object&#39;s key of same name</i>
        {name: <em>'name'</em>},
        <i>// map Record&#39;s <em>'job'</em> field to data object&#39;s <em>'occupation'</em> key</i>
        {name: <em>'job'</em>, mapping: <em>'occupation'</em>}
    ]
});</code></pre>
<p>This would consume a JSON data object of the form:</p><pre><code>{
    results: 2000, <i>// Reader&#39;s configured <a href="output/Ext.data.JsonReader.html#Ext.data.JsonReader-totalProperty" ext:member="totalProperty" ext:cls="Ext.data.JsonReader">totalProperty</a></i>
    rows: [        <i>// Reader&#39;s configured <a href="output/Ext.data.JsonReader.html#Ext.data.JsonReader-root" ext:member="root" ext:cls="Ext.data.JsonReader">root</a></i>
        <i>// record data objects:</i>
        { <a href="output/Ext.data.JsonReader.html#Ext.data.JsonReader-idProperty" ext:member="idProperty" ext:cls="Ext.data.JsonReader">id</a>: 1, firstname: <em>'Bill'</em>, occupation: <em>'Gardener'</em> },
        { <a href="output/Ext.data.JsonReader.html#Ext.data.JsonReader-idProperty" ext:member="idProperty" ext:cls="Ext.data.JsonReader">id</a>: 2, firstname: <em>'Ben'</em> , occupation: <em>'Horticulturalist'</em> },
        ...
    ]
}</code></pre>
<p><b><u>Automatic configuration using metaData</u></b></p>
<p>It is possible to change a JsonReader's metadata at any time by including
a <b><tt>metaData</tt></b> property in the JSON data object. If the JSON data
object has a <b><tt>metaData</tt></b> property, a <a href="output/Ext.data.Store.html" ext:cls="Ext.data.Store">Store</a>
object using this Reader will reconfigure itself to use the newly provided
field definition and fire its <a href="output/Ext.data.Store.html#Ext.data.Store-metachange" ext:member="metachange" ext:cls="Ext.data.Store">metachange</a>
event. The metachange event handler may interrogate the <b><tt>metaData</tt></b>
property to perform any configuration required.</p>
<p>Note that reconfiguring a Store potentially invalidates objects which may
refer to Fields or Records which no longer exist.</p>
<p>To use this facility you would create the JsonReader like this:</p><pre><code><b>var</b> myReader = <b>new</b> Ext.data.JsonReader();</code></pre>
<p>The first data packet from the server would configure the reader by
containing a <b><tt>metaData</tt></b> property <b>and</b> the data. For
example, the JSON data object might take the form:</p><pre><code>{
    metaData: {
        <em>"<a href="output/Ext.data.JsonReader.html#Ext.data.JsonReader-idProperty" ext:member="idProperty" ext:cls="Ext.data.JsonReader">idProperty</a>"</em>: <em>"id"</em>,

            {<em>"name"</em>: <em>"job"</em>, <em>"mapping"</em>: <em>"occupation"</em>}
        ],
