Completely custom Json output

[eelcoj]

Fiddled a bit with acts_as_api, but so far can't seem to get the following output:

'{"emailaddress@domain.com": {"key1":"value1", "key2":value2}, "emailaddress2@domain.com": {"key1":"value1", "key2": value2}}'

Is this even possible? Or is this out of the gem's scope?

[eelcoj]

Most of this doable, like so:

api_accessible :public do |t|
  t.add :email, :as => :email
  t.add :child
end

def child
  {
    'name' => name
  }
end

No, can I remove the node "email": here? Basically an empty :as value?

Hi,

sorry but you can't do this with acts_as_api. If you have the chance, you should try to change the schema of your response to deliver a reliable set of keys only with modified values.

Yeah, that's what I figured after fiddling with it some more—hoped I missed a piece somewhere. Anyway, thanks!
