Sorry, i might misunderstood your question.
If you need to know between json or xml, you may add format in your
request path "/some/path/to/resourse(.json)?"
def GET(self, format):
if web.ctx.env.get('HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH') == 'XMLHttpRequest':
if format == ".json":
return json.dumps(resource)
else:
return render_partial.resource(resource)
else:
return render.resource(resource)
