How is JSON-P different than JSON?
JSON-P works by making a <script> element (either in HTML markup or inserted into the DOM via JavaScript), which requests to a remote data service location.
JSON-P is delivered by servers which use PHP, Perl or Python due to the technology integration with Apache.
JSON-P uses the UTF-8P character set which extends the data range of the encoding to transmit more information faster.
JSON-P is a white-space padded version of JSON which is easier for both machines and people to read.
There is no difference.

Why should you place the script tag that loads Dojo at the end of the document body?
Because most pages have some HTML elements which must be ready for use before Dojo can run.
None of these answers.
Browsers process script tags in the document body using a faster algorithm than those in the head section.
Because Dojo tests to see where the tag used to load it from is located and will fail to execute otherwise.
The script tag should always be in the page header.
