The goal is to build a Dojo's JsonRestStore-compatible back-end implementation on top of N2 web framework.

What's available nowAs of yet, the foundation of a universal web data service is available. The service is capable of returning a JSON representation of a requested page either by appending a $format=json to a query string OR by specifying an Accept: application/json request header. (This mimics the behavior of ADO.Net Data Services1)

So, for example, if a default N2 Templates project is running at http://demo.n2cms.com/, then, after following installation instructions bellow, if we append aforementioned $format=json to any valid URI, we'll get a response that will look something like this:

{
/* .. most properties omitted */
"IconUrl": "~/Templates/UI/Img/page_world.png",
"ShowTitle": false,
"ID": 2,
"Parent":
{ "__deferred":
{ "uri": "/Templates/Secured/Root.aspx?page=1"
}
},
"Title": "Home",
"Name": "home",
"Published": "\/Date(1210809600000+0300)\/",
"Children":
[ { "__deferred":
{ "uri":"/?item=3"
}
},
/* .. more children omitted */
{ "__deferred":
{ "uri":"/sv.aspx"
}
}
],
"Extension": ".aspx",
"IsPage": true,
"Url": "/",
"Path": "/home/"
