[racket] How to parse json from a web API
This is my first time using racket or any lisp like language, but so far
I really like racket but I'm a complete noob.
I am wanting to make a simple application in racket for the website
hummingbird.me <http://hummingbird.me/users/Epictest/library>, an anime
tracking website. Here is a mockup of the gui in racket.

I want to populate this list-box with the json data from the users libary
this is what the json data looks like http://pastebin.com/VXNnZGbk and
after converting it to a hash:
'(#hasheq((private . #f)
(id . 5419481)
(status . "currently-watching")
(episodes_watched . 12)
(last_watched . "2014-06-07T22:49:04.788Z")
(rewatched_times . 0)
(notes . null)
(notes_present . null)
(rewatching . #f)
(anime .
#hasheq(
(url . "http://hummingbird.me/anime/baccano")
(title . "Baccano!")
(status . "Finished Airing")
(slug . "baccano")
(alternate_title . "")
(episode_count . 13)
(cover_image .
"http://static.hummingbird.me/anime/poster_images/000/002/039/large/26DCC78BD23438E7D713B8E2A825F46F_800_1094.jpg?1383481747")
(synopsis . "")
(show_type . "TV")))
(rating . #hasheq(
(value . "4.5")
(type . "advanced"))))
#hasheq((private . #f)
(id . 5419483)
(status . "currently-watching")
(episodes_watched . 12)
(last_watched . "2014-06-07T22:49:22.644Z")
(rewatched_times . 0)
(notes . null)
(notes_present . null)
(rewatching . #f)
(anime .
#hasheq(
(url . "http://hummingbird.me/anime/steins-gate")
(title . "Steins;Gate")
(status . "Finished Airing")
(slug . "steins-gate")
(alternate_title . "")
(episode_count . 24)
(cover_image .
"http://static.hummingbird.me/anime/poster_images/000/005/646/large/5646.jpg?1387138585")
(synopsis . "")
(show_type . "TV")))
(rating . #hasheq(
(value . "5.0")
(type . "advanced")))))
I understand that somehow I have to loop through the the hash to get the
data I require and possibly store it in a second hash? How would I go
about doing this?
Sorry if this is a stupid question and having no idea what I'm doing.
