proposal: @expose('jsondebug')

[Jorge Vargas]

Hello guys, I have been working with a heavy ajaj app (I hate that
name), and I find myself doing this a lot, when debugging.

changing
@expose('json')
to
@expose()

changing return type to str, in order to see the actual json stream on
the browser window.

so why not have a @expose('jsondebug') that will
1- set content type to text (so browsers will display instead of download)
2- pretty print the json obj, so we will get structure instead of a single line
3- ???

what do you think?

Hi Jorge,

That would be really cool.

Yes, it would be helpful...
Why not using a syntax like
@expose('json', format='debug')
so you could setup a global variable like json_debug = None | 'debug'
ans pass it to all the @expose('json', format=json_debug)

This problem can be solved by installing the JSONView Firefox plugin.
It will render the json response with syntax highlighting, folding and
indentation. No need to introduce anything to tg.
