title: Which JSON content type do I use?
body: <p>There are many &quot;standards&quot; for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON" rel="noreferrer">JSON</a> content type:</p>
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>application/json
  application/x-javascript
  text/javascript
  text/x-javascript
  text/x-json
  </code></pre>
  <p>Which one do I use, and where? I assume security and browser support issues are a factor.</p>
