/**
 * @class Ext.data.JsonReader
 * @extends Ext.data.DataReader
 * Data reader class to create an Array of Ext.data.Record objects from a JSON response
 * based on mappings in a provided Ext.data.Record constructor.
 * <p>
 * Example code:
 * <pre><code>
var RecordDef = Ext.data.Record.create([
    {name: 'name', mapping: 'name'},     // "mapping" property not needed if it's the same as "name"
    {name: 'occupation'}                 // This field will use "occupation" as the mapping.
]);
var myReader = new Ext.data.JsonReader({
    totalProperty: "results",    // The property which contains the total dataset size (optional)
    root: "rows",                // The property which contains an Array of row objects
    id: "id"                     // The property within each row object that provides an ID for the record (optional)
}, RecordDef);
</code></pre>
 * <p>
 * This would consume a JSON file like this:
 * <pre><code>
{ 'results': 2, 'rows': [
    { 'id': 1, 'name': 'Bill', occupation: 'Gardener' },
    { 'id': 2, 'name': 'Ben', occupation: 'Horticulturalist' } ]
}
</code></pre>
 * @cfg {String} totalProperty Name of the property from which to retrieve the total number of records
 * in the dataset. This is only needed if the whole dataset is not passed in one go, but is being
 * paged from the remote server.
 * @cfg {String} successProperty Name of the property from which to retrieve the success attribute used by forms.
 * @cfg {String} root name of the property which contains the Array of row objects.
 * @cfg {String} id Name of the property within a row object that contains a record identifier value.
 * @constructor
 * Create a new JsonReader
 * @param {Object} meta Metadata configuration options
 * @param {Object} recordType Either an Array of field definition objects,
 * or an {@link Ext.data.Record} object created using {@link Ext.data.Record#create}.
