a, i c, not tested on that yet, will do, btw, forgot to add service.json() not sure about the difference or performance compare with json/simplejson, as_json(), response.json(), restful e.g. @service.json def service_json_call_json_rows(): query = (db.auth_user.id > 0) rows = db(query).select() return rows
lesson learned from tested above (json/simplejson, response.json(), as_json(), @request.restful(), @service.json) 1. when passing parameter to the function that generate json, using @service.json() and @request.restful() you can put the parameter in the function e.g. @service.json def get_table(table_name, id): or @request.restful() def api(): response.view = 'generic.' + request.extension def GET(*args, **vars): while in the other (json/simplejson, response.json() ) you must explicit it using e.g. id = request.args(0) 2. because of the reason above so that the parameter that you pass when using function (json/simplejson, response.json() ) couldn't have the extension .json on the url it will throw an error : ValueError: invalid literal for long() with base 10: 1.json 1 is a parameter args to do a query in table 3. if you have to post (insert), put (update), delete use @request.restful(), not sure if there any method beside @request.restful() 4. to create 1 function that support another format is using @service, you can change the result according to the service you choose (json, xml, etc) 5. the simple result is using as_json(), if the data in the table is same what you want to represent, if not, perhaps use another (json/simplejson, response.json() with for loop and then set the value data representation) e.g. def json_test(): query = (db.account.id > 0) rows = db(query).select() rows_list = [] for row in rows: rows_list.append([row.product.name, row.quantity] ) return response.json(rows_list) thanks and best regards, stifan -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
