Hello, Today while working on the updated dependencies ticket I found out something.
Currently we are using the buffet legacy plugin for json, you may know it as TurboJson, TurboJson, was ones used by TW/TGWidgets and other parts of TG1 to apply generic rules to transform into json some objects, as you can see from http://trac.turbogears.org/browser/projects/TurboJson/trunk/turbojson/jsonify.py it used to support SO, SA and other small types in a very magical yet useful way. Also note TJ uses simplejson as it's rendering engine. Fast forward to the present, if you want to return json you will most likely use a dict, and TJ will just kick in and transform your custom classes into valid json. So the questions are, 1- should we create a "render_json" function in tg.render.py (read: build a "new style render") if yes what it should do, a- simply delegate to simplejson b- implement the generic functions to display custom types? 2- should we bring TurboJson back into TG2 codebase? 3- ??? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Trunk" group.
