YQL Screen Scraping

$

This is essentially a follow up question to this one, but once I finally got some results from my YQL query, they weren't in the format I was necessarily expecting and now I'm not sure how to deploy them (or even whether I can deploy them in the way I was hoping).

My goal was to perform a targeted screen scrape of the HTML on a given URL and then present that as a view in my Titanium app. It seemed sensible enough to use YQL to get the DOM component I was after, but I'm not sure how to deal with the JSON result. Is there a way to simply drop that in as a webview or I have to somehow reconstruct the HTML from the JSON?

Maybe there's a better way that what I'm doing? This is all brand new to me, so it's entirely possible that I'm going about this all wrong.

Thanks.
