This is definitely a thread full of experts.
 
I am a year late, but I am really getting interested in the Electrum wallet.

I am stuck trying to determine how to talk to the Electrum wallet. Via JSON, I am guessing over a ethernet socket?   I would like to have my webpage grab new addresses from the Electrum wallet and assign labels to the addresses.  Are there good tools for this?  How would I go about doing this?  Can you point me to an example? ex

I would be willing to pay for a writeup or try and start documenting a walkthrough for how the api works, but I really need to be pointed to the correct place, or be able to see some examples of this in action.
