sample_rpc_response = simplejson.loads(sample_raw_rpc_response)

return result
def POST(*args, **vars):
return dict()
def PUT(*args, **vars):
return dict()
def DELETE(*args, **vars):
return dict()
return locals()
The problem is that we can't be sure if the operation returns a list or a
dict, but we want to render the result as json. So, the solution where we
create a generic-list.json doesn't work for us in this case either. We
rather unavoidably end up with a list result sometimes, and if that's the
case then it just iterates over it and returns a concatenated string.
