I have some client side javascript posting data to my web.py server
that looks like this:
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url : '/graph/',
dataType : 'json',
data : {nodes: [{pie:1, cake:2}]}, //temporary data
for testing output
success : function(data){
console.log(data);
}
});
When my server receives the POST, and I have some code that looks
something like this:
class graph:
def POST(self):
graph1 = web.data()
graph2 = web.input()
print graph1
print graph2
Then my output looks like
graph1 : nodes%5B0%5D%5Bpie%5D=1&nodes%5B0%5D%5Bcake%5D=2
graph2: <Storage {'nodes[0][cake]': u'2', 'nodes': {}, 'nodes[0]
[pie]': u'1'}>
What I want to happen of course is for the data posted to be
deserialized so that my python dictionary has the same structure as it
did in javascript. However, web.input seems to flatten the whole
thing, and web.data encodes it in some form that I can't do anything
with. Now I'm sure I'm bastardizing some web standards by trying to
do what I'm doing, but is there anything I can do to keep web.py from
flattening/encoding it funky? Or another way to get the result I
want?
Thank you.
