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

[Wikus van de Merwe]

if "students" in request.vars:
  students = json.loads(request.vars.students)
  print students[0]["student_id"]

For python 2.5 you might need to import the simplejson from contrib (I'm 
not sure if this is done automatically):
import gluon.contrib.simplejson as json
