Hi,

i was on my research for finding a good and light weight plugin for an auto-complete and it looks like this is good for my project i want to ask if it support a groupings and/or JSON format. Thank you.

I don't really understand the question. Can you explain that in more detail or with an example, please?

@SimonSteinberger - is there a Groupings/Categories feature in this plugin?

and in your example you give array: ['ActionScript', 'AppleScript', 'Asp', 'Assembly', 'BASIC', 'Batch', 'C', 'C++', 'CSS', 'Clojure', 'COBOL', 'ColdFusion', 'Erlang', 'Fortran', 'Groovy', 'Haskell', 'HTML', 'Java', 'JavaScript', 'Lisp', 'Perl', 'PHP', 'PowerShell', 'Python', 'Ruby', 'Scala', 'Scheme', 'SQL', 'TeX', 'XML'];

what if in JSON:

e.g: [{ id: 1, value: 'ActionScript'}] is this possible?

is that make a sense? sorry for my bad english. thank you.

Hi Monreal,

got it. I think it's a nice feature, but one of our main goals for this plugin is to keep it extremely lightweight and efficient. I guess this feature would require quite some extra code and I'm not sure how many people would actually make use of it.

If others also wish to have this included, we can do it - or if we get a pull request that doesn't involve too much overhead, it's also okay. Keeping this ticket open to see what others say ...

Thanks for your suggestions in any case.
