What's a simple way of consuming a JSON API using RESTAdapter in Ember.js?

Question

As a way of learning AngularJS, I designed a very basic app that consumes data from a JSON API and simply throws it to the screen (the code is on Github.) Now I'm learning Ember.js and I simply can't get how to achieve the same result. Using as little code as possible, what would be a simple way of consuming data from a public JSON API (e.g. https://graph.facebook.com/?id=http://stackoverflow.com) and routing it to the view?

Why the down vote? I'd be grateful if someone could point me a better way to describe my question, instead of just down voting. A comment is always helpful in situations like this. — João

You probably should take a quick run through the guides: http://emberjs.com/guides/

App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function() {
    return $.getJSON('https://graph.facebook.com/?id=http://stackoverflow.com');
  }
});

or even less code

I did go through the documentation, but unfortunately didn't understand the usage of RESTAdapter. Thanks, your answer is pretty straightforward and self explanatory.

By the way, it turns out the problem is with the host I'm using. Do you have any idea why it's not working? emberjs.jsbin.com/obaTUGaG/1/edit
