Web Services

We want to be able to access data from the database exported as JSON for easy use within Javascript clients.
This is very easy within Web2Py since 1.55:

# 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)
