[web2py] $.ajax : how to parse data sent to the controller

[Vineet]

Earlier i was using ajax() function.
But since it is not possible to send js array or json object, I am
trying $.ajax function.

--- View ---
var jsonObjects = [{id:1, name:"amit"}, {id:2, name:"ankit"},{id:3,
name:"atin"},{id:1, name:"puneet"}];

$.ajax({
         url: "{{=URL('myControllerName')}}",
         type: "POST",
         context: document.body,
         data: {students: JSON.stringify(jsonObjects) },
         dataType: "json",
         success: function(){
             alert('ok');
  }
});

--- end View ---

In controller, how do I access the data?

Somebody has give the code for grails as :---

//this code is written in grails
import grails.converters.JSON;
List<JSON> students = JSON.parse(params.students) //students in
request params is parsed to json objects and stored in the List
println "Student id: " + students[0].studentId    //first element of
the students list is accessed as a map holding a key studentId

In web2py, how to port this code?

Thanks,

Vineet
