Are there any sample web services served via JSON out there? I would like to consume some for testing and learning. I also would not mind downloading JSON files offline with images and stuff. Maybe there is even live public data that I can consume for learning instead. It would save so much time starting projects or prototypes. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Wikipedia is an easy example of this.

Here's a pretty printed version:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Albert%20Einstein&prop=info&format=jsonfm&callback=foo

And here's it in jsonp:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Albert%20Einstein&prop=info&format=json&callback=foo
