One of the great things about web.py is that doesn't matter if you're
showing an HTML page, an RSS feed or JSON data; you just print it (or
'return it' in the dev version).
How do you return a JSON string? The easiest way is using the
"simplejson" Python library.
You can't/must not return all the strings, so you do something like
this:
import web
import simplejson
urls = { '/somepage/(\d)+' , 'somepage'}
class somepage:
def GET(self, pagenum):
STRINGS_PAGE = 100
dbstr = web.select('stringtable', what='text'
limit = STRINGS_PAGE,
offset = STRINGS_PAGE*pagenum)
strs = []
for s in dbstrs:
strs.append(s.text)
result = simplejson.dumps(strs)
print result
And call "/somepage?pagenum=X" usign JQuery's AJAX functions.
