The @service.json and @service.xml exist but you do not need them. For
example if you have
def example():
return dict(a=[1,2,3],b=['Hello','World'])
you can cal this with
http://.../example
http://.../example.html
http://.../example.load (html but no layout)
http://.../example.json (for json)
http://.../example.xml (for xml)
No extra code required. Works for all actions. There is also a .rss
that works for some actions. You can define your own controller/
function.* views.
To change layout you can just install plugin layouts from
http://web2py.com/layouts.
It will add a new menu button to change layout. Most layouts need a
little work.
