Maybe JSON-LD[1] (JavaScript Object Notation for Linking Data) should be considered as well.

[1] http://json-ld.org/

Description

• SMW_QP_JSONlink will use SMWDISerializer::getSerializedQueryResult in order to unify with existing methods.
• FormatJSON::encode will encode the array
• JavaScript can parse the json string back into its original array using (typeof json == 'string' ? data = JSON.parse( json ) : data = json;)

JSON Structure

-> printrequests:

[ { label, typeid, mode} ]

-> results:

{ subject : {printouts: { ["property":[{fulltext:"", fullurl:""}] ] } } }

On the contrary to the previous implementation, the new JSON output does not manipulate the date format and export any date in its original format (time stamp)

The export structure [1] has been changed.

• obsolete -> getObsoleteJSON can be used for compatibility but will be @deprecated in 1.10

• simplified -> getSimplifiedJSON based on SMWDISerializer but with a

simplified array structure

• complete -> getCompleteJSON based on SMWDISerializer produces the full JSON object
