  * @class Ext.data.JsonReader
  * @extends Ext.data.DataReader
- * Data reader class to create an Array of {@link Ext.data.Record} objects from a JSON response
- * based on mappings in a provided {@link Ext.data.Record} constructor.
+ * Data reader class to create an Array of {@link Ext.data.Record} objects
+ * from a JSON packet based on mappings in a provided {@link Ext.data.Record}
+ * constructor.
  * Example code:
  * 
-var Employee = Ext.data.Record.create([
-    {name: 'firstname'},                  // map the Record's "firstname" field to the row object's key of the same name
-    {name: 'job', mapping: 'occupation'}  // map the Record's "job" field to the row object's "occupation" key
-]);
-var myReader = new Ext.data.JsonReader(
-    {                             // The metadata property, with configuration options:
-        totalProperty: "results", //   the property which contains the total dataset size (optional)
-        root: "rows",             //   the property which contains an Array of record data objects
-        idProperty: "id"          //   the property within each row object that provides an ID for the record (optional)
-    },
-    Employee  // {@link Ext.data.Record} constructor that provides mapping for JSON object
-);
+var myReader = new Ext.data.JsonReader({
+    // metadata configuration options:
+    {@link #idProperty}: 'id'
+    {@link #root}: 'rows',
+    {@link #totalProperty}: 'results',
+    {@link Ext.data.DataReader#messageProperty}: "msg"  // The element within the response that provides a user-feedback message (optional)
+
+    // the fields config option will internally create an {@link Ext.data.Record}
+    // constructor that provides mapping for reading the record data objects
+    {@link Ext.data.DataReader#fields fields}: [
+        // map Record's 'firstname' field to data object's key of same name
+        {name: 'name'},
+        // map Record's 'job' field to data object's 'occupation' key
+        {name: 'job', mapping: 'occupation'}
+    ]
+});
 
  * This would consume a JSON data object of the form:

 {
-    results: 2,  // Reader's configured totalProperty
-    rows: [      // Reader's configured root
-        { id: 1, firstname: 'Bill', occupation: 'Gardener' },         // a row object
-        { id: 2, firstname: 'Ben' , occupation: 'Horticulturalist' }  // another row object
+    results: 2000, // Reader's configured {@link #totalProperty}
+    rows: [        // Reader's configured {@link #root}
+        // record data objects:
+        { {@link #idProperty id}: 1, firstname: 'Bill', occupation: 'Gardener' },
+        { {@link #idProperty id}: 2, firstname: 'Ben' , occupation: 'Horticulturalist' },
+        ...
     ]
 }
 
  * Automatic configuration using metaData
- * It is possible to change a JsonReader's metadata at any time by including a metaData
- * property in the JSON data object. If the JSON data object has a metaData property, a
- * {@link Ext.data.Store Store} object using this Reader will reconfigure itself to use the newly provided
- * field definition and fire its {@link Ext.data.Store#metachange metachange} event. The metachange event
- * handler may interrogate the metaData property to perform any configuration required.
- * Note that reconfiguring a Store potentially invalidates objects which may refer to Fields or Records
- * which no longer exist.
- * The metaData property in the JSON data object may contain:
- * 
- * any of the configuration options for this class
- * a {@link Ext.data.Record#fields fields} property which the JsonReader will
- * use as an argument to the {@link Ext.data.Record#create data Record create method} in order to
- * configure the layout of the Records it will produce.
- * a {@link Ext.data.Store#sortInfo sortInfo} property which the JsonReader will
- * use to set the {@link Ext.data.Store}'s {@link Ext.data.Store#sortInfo sortInfo} property
- * any user-defined properties needed
- * 
- * To use this facility to send the same data as the example above (without having to code the creation
- * of the Record constructor), you would create the JsonReader like this:
