+We want to be able to access data from the database exported as JSON for easy use within Javascript clients.
+
+This can be done by simply calling the RESTlike controller with the var {{{?format=json}}}:
 {{{
-# Designed to be called via AJAX to be processed within JS client
-def display_feature_group_features_json():
-    list=db(db.gis_feature_group.id==t2.id).select(db.gis_feature_group.features).json()
-    response.view='list_plain.html'
-    return dict(list=list)
+/sahana/module/resource?format=json           # Lists all records of this resource
+/sahana/module/resource/id?format=json        # List record with record.id==id
+/sahana/module/resource/create?format=json    # ToDo
+/sahana/module/resource/update/id?format=json # ToDo
+}}}
+
+The underlying functions are very easy within Web2Py since 1.55:
+{{{
+def display_json():
+    "Designed to be called via AJAX to be processed within JS client."
+    list=db(db.table.id==t2.id).select(db.table.ALL).json()
+    response.view='plain.html'
+    return dict(item=list)
