If you send the *"?fields="* query-string to a Google API, you'll get just the parts of the JSON object from the response that you requested.
Now, you can have this same exact feature in your Node.js services. Say hello to *JSON Mask <https://github.com/nemtsov/json-mask>* and the *Partial Response Middleware <https://github.com/nemtsov/partial-response-middleware> * for express! *JSON Mask* is a tiny language and an engine for selecting specific parts of a JS object, hiding/masking the rest. Here's a tiny sample of what it looks like: var mask = require('json-mask')mask({p: {a: 1, b: 2}, z: 1}, 'p/a,z') // {p: {a: 1}, z: 1} *Partial Response Middleware* is an express middleware that will integrate with your existing services with no additional code if you're using* res.json() or res.jsonp()* So, instead of getting the entire JSON object, your services will start being able to respond with partial objects. I'd love to hear what you think about these. - Yuriy -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
