NAME

RDF::Server::Formatter::JSON - Work with JSON documents

SYNOPSIS

 package My::Server;

 protocol 'HTTP';
 interface 'REST';
 semantic 'Atom';

 format json => 'JSON';

DESCRIPTION

Formats documents as JSON for easy use by JavaScript programs. This formatter is currently for read-only operations and does not support submitting JSON to the server.

METHODS

All methods that return a document also return a mime type of application/json as the first element of a two-element array. The document is the second element.

wants_rdf

Returns false. The JSON formatter works with perl data structures instead of RDF documents.

resource

This will return the resource data encoded as JSON.

to_rdf

This will accept JSON and return RDF. This method is not yet implemented. This method does not return a mime type.

feed

Returns a JSON representation of a list of resources.

category

Returns a JSON representation of a document following the semantics of an atom:category document.

collection

Returns a JSON representation of a document following the semantics of an app:collection document: a list of categories.

workspace

Returns a JSON representation of a document following the semantics of an app:workspace document: a list of collections.

service

Returns a JSON representation of a document following the semantics of an app:service document: a list of workspaces.
