    Note: an updated version of this code was included in trunk as an experimental feature.

     

    The DAL commands are

    db.as_dict(<flat=False, sanitize=True>)
table.as_dict(<flat=False, sanitize=True>)
field.as_dict(<flat=False, sanitize=True>)

db.as_xml(<sanitize=True>)
table.as_xml(<sanitize=True>)
field.as_xml(<sanitize=True>)

db.as_json(<sanitize=True>)
table.as_json(<sanitize=True>)
field.as_json(<sanitize=True>)

Exposing a db model for client-side processing
Recipe by Alan Etkin (spametki) on 2013-01-24 in Application, Development, Javascript, Model, Other, Tools, View
This code outputs the db structure as xml (or a dict object). The purpose of this snippet is add support for javascript frameworks like angular.js This is a prototype for adding the db scheme export built-in feature to web2py. Note that the code actually works without implementing within the DAL modules (i.e. It could be used as plugin or app model code).
