Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if there's a (easy) way to get the JSON for an Exhibit 
database. That is, I'm looking for the equivalent of doing:

---

<link href="data.js" type="application/json" rel="exhibit/data" />
...
<script>
   window.database = Exhibit.Database.create();
   window.database.loadDataLinks(
     function() {
       var json = window.database.getAsJSON();
     }
   );
</script>

---

...and have the json variable be either the JavaScript object or JSON 
string representation of the data.js file. (If it's a string, I clearly 
don't care whether it preserves whitespace/indentation etc.)

I'm looking to do this so that I can send the JSON back to a server to 
udpate some data items, so if anyone has an existing approach to this 
more general problem (updating selected parts of Exhibit databases or, 
even more generally, server-based JSON files), I'd love to hear them too.

thanks,
Lee
