I'd like to be able to generate pure JSON from a wiki page, to use in other
pages via AJAX. To that end I created a page with the following content:
{{velocity wiki=false}}
$response.setContentType('application/json')
{
greeting : Hello,
location: World
}
Instead of printing the JSON directly I recommend using the $jsontool
(see
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Velocity+Module#HVelocityTools
). The advantage is that you don't have to care about escaping JSON
(property) values.
$jsontool.serialize({
greeting : $someObject.greeting,
location: $someOtherObject.location
})
Hope this helps,
Marius
{{/velocity}}
Calling this via /xwiki/bin/get/Sandbox/JsonTest I get the following code:
pbr/#123;br/greeting : Hello,br/location: Worldbr/}/p
I get the same via /xwiki/bin/view/AlertDB/JsonTest?xpage=plain.
If I remove the $response.setContentType('application/json')

Thanks so much for that. It did indeed work :-)
So 'view' with xpage=plainoutputSyntax=plain or just 'get' with
outputSyntax=plain does the job.
Now I know what to look for, for posterity I've put this information into
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Output+JSON
cool thanks!
FWIW I'd have rather put the license as something like public domain, but
the closest (Do What The F*** You Want..) seemed unnecessarily vulgar. Does
such language really have a place on your website?
I agree it looks vulgar. However this is a real license, see

Inded, I would have imagine also that xpage=plain would have worked but it
doesn’t. You have to use outputsyntax.
For example:
http://playground.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/get/Main/VMA?outputSyntax=plain
Note: You can go on a page with a livetable and check with Chrome dev tools
or Firebug the requests done and you’ll see it uses that.
