Uploading a json file from local computers. URLfetch?

[soujiro0725]

GAE for Python!

Hi. I am trying to develop a web service which users can upload json files and modify the data.

Users create json files at local computers, and in the web service page, browse the path to the files and press 'upload'.

Then, a python handler parses the file contents and make necessary changes.

My question is the process of uploading the files from local computers.

Am I supposed to use 'URL fetch' API? by indicating the URL to the local file storage?

Or is there any other possible way to achieve this?

Use the DataStore.

I don't want to save the files.  I want the handler to parse the json file content, and discard it as long as the process is successfully finished.

Need to look at multi-part post data

But instead of saving the file  you want to process ("parse") the file. Beware make sure your parse expressions are simple. GAE does not like compute hogs.
