[Developers] Category list

[Zodiac Seven]

Thank you Kurt,

An off topic question:
The query returns a result like this

{
"status": "200 OK",
"code": "/api/status/ok",
"results": {
"code": "/api/status/ok",
"result": [
{
"type": "/freebase/domain_category",
"name": "Sports"
}
...

I only need the names and I could parse those out of the string but is there
a cleaner way to do it like using javascript's eval or some sort of freebase
support function? I think if I could get a array of objects I could
iterate through them copying 'object[i].name'.
Any sample code would be helpful.
