Access Socrata (Metro Chicago Data) via Javascript

[Tom Kompare]

Hello Open Governmentors,

I've written a simple Javascript object file to simplify access and
use of Socrata-driven data warehouses such as
http://data.cityofchicago.org/. This object makes it a bit easier to
pull these data into a web application without relying on your web
site's server-side code. The data access uses Socrata's SODA 1.0 API.
It is said SODA 2.0 is "coming soon", so I'll have to update this
access file accordingly when the time comes.
