See `OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON` and `OpenLayers.Layer.Vector`

Here is a code stub to get you going (this one draw the layer on top of a Google basemap; the projections have been defined elsewhere):

	var geojson_format = new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON({
		"internalProjection": proj.google,
		"externalProjection": proj.latlng
	});

	var lyr = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector(a.name, {
		// styleMap defined elsewhere
		styleMap: new OpenLayers.StyleMap(styleMap)
	});
	map.addLayer(lyr);
	lyr.addFeatures(geojson_format.read(data);
