Currently writing some documentation. Just wondering if we are using the terminology correctly.
We have an AJAX script that calls a service using a HTTP GET that returns JSON.
Would you call the service a REST service or a JSON service?

I’d call it a REST service which returns JSON.
EDIT
6 years on and what was I thinking! It’s a web service which returns Json, as suggested in other answers. It may be RESTful, it may not.
