Musachy, I can't seem to create the right blend of Entity objects/list/maps to allow the JSON plug in to serialize this response for me. If I create the string below using a loop, can I return it from the JSON plug in without the plug in doing anything further to it?
In other words, does the plug in look at what it is trying to serialize and say, "Hey this is already valid JSON, I don't need to do anything to it..." or will it try to add additional info to the string returned? I'm guessing the shortest path for me is to just create the string in my own serialization loop, but I don't want to confuse the plug in -- if that makes any sense.
