Thanks so much for that. It did indeed work :-) So 'view' with xpage=plain&outputSyntax=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 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?

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.
