As the subject line says, I would like to use a template to create a
JSON structure that I would like to send back to the browser in
response to an ajax request. Is that possible?
Hi Puneet,
I believe so, the following code snippet works for me.
sub json {
return 'application/json';
}
get '/testjson' => sub {
content_type json;
return template 'json.tt', { r => { id => 1, name => "Widgets Co."} }, {
layout => undef };
};
Where json.tt is
{
"name": "<% r.name %>",
"id":<% r.id %>
}
Oh! Brilliant! That is exactly what I was looking for. I am going to try 
it out and report back.

Many thanks,

Puneet.
