I'd like to be able to generate pure JSON from a wiki page, to use in other pages via AJAX. To that end I created a page with the following content: {{velocity wiki="false"}} $response.setContentType('application/json') { "greeting" : "Hello", "location": "World" } {{/velocity}}

Calling this via /xwiki/bin/get/Sandbox/JsonTest I get the following code:

{ "greeting" : "Hello", "location": "World" }

I get the same via /xwiki/bin/view/AlertDB/JsonTest?xpage=plain.

If I remove the $response.setContentType('application/json') https://dev.alertnessdb.net/xwiki/bin/view/AlertDB/JsonTest?xpage=plain

Inded, I would have imagine also that xpage=plain would have worked but it doesn’t. You have to use outputsyntax. For example: http://playground.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/get/Main/VMA?outputSyntax=plain Note: You can go on a page with a livetable and check with Chrome dev tools or Firebug the requests done and you’ll see it uses that.

Thanks so much for that. It did indeed work :-) So 'view' with xpage=plain&outputSyntax=plain or just 'get' with outputSyntax=plain does the job.

Now I know what to look for, for posterity I've put this information into http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Output+JSON

cool thanks!

FWIW I'd have rather put the license as something like "public domain", but the closest ("Do What The F*** You Want..") seemed unnecessarily vulgar. Does such language really have a place on your website?

I agree it looks vulgar. However this is a real license, see http://www.wtfpl.net/about/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTFPL Thanks -Vincent

Thanks,

Bryn
