I still don't get it. To me it looks like @service.json is all about
taking data in the URL parameters and turning it into json code. I am
wanting to build the server to receive much more data than could ever be
including in that URL. Or am I missing something in the documentation.
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/10#Remote-procedure-calls
I want the server to TAKE json data and then RETURN json data.

Let's say for example I have the example code from the json website:

"ID": "SGML",
"SortAs": "SGML",

languages such as DocBook.",
"GlossSeeAlso": ["GML", "XML"]
},
"GlossSee": "markup"

}

}
}
And let's assume this is sent data from the phone.
How would I build the controller to part this? The example here from the book
didn't tell me much. At least that I can see.
JSON-RPC requires that the top-level JSON object be in a certain
format, with specified members, and the return object is similarly
defineds. Unless you want to redefine your JSON objects, you can't use
JSON-RPC.
There's a JSON service as well, but you have to do your own parsing.
You can look at gluon.utils.Service.serve_jsonrpc to see how the
JSON-RPC service does it. I'm not sure why the JSON service doesn't
decode the incoming object, but there you are...
:/

def getTasks():
todos = db(db.todo).select()
return [(todo.task,todo.id) for todo in todos]|

The application currently sends the JSON data to a webserver so I
just want to make web2py the server instead of the "other framework".

JSONRPC should be used if you want to implement RPC service
but if you only need to send json data, you can do it that
way or another.
How would you send the data? Something that works in the
background or manually, from web browser?
Anyway, the issue can be how to do it on your mobile device
(depends or your needs), not the web2py as a server :)

I would like this server to be web2py.
How would I do this?
Am I on the right track here?

<http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/10#JSONRPC>
Or am I looking in the wrong place.
There will be a large amount of data sent.
