I've taken a look at the current JSON serializer and wondering if
anybody has put together a proposal for a "AJAX" json serializer.
The issue I've got with the current JSON serializer is that when you
would like to interop a structure with a webpage (and web designer) you
end up having to repack the data into a human friendly form. I've
currently got a basic Thrift => AJAX JSON serializer working in python
which enables me to take a structure that wasn't quite human readable to
something that pretty much mirrors the original data format.
I'm not quite sure if it's worth making it totally portable for RPC, but
at the same time it would enable a whole class of functionality quickly.
This is an example of some of the data response.
