Json.php

The Json.php file

This is where you define REST calls. They are mostly used for asynchronous operations, such as jQuery.restForm. If you need the operation to cause a pageload, you probably need the Actions.php file.

REST calls are prefixed based on the request type. For example, calling ?rest=component_name/function_name using an HTTP GET request calls get_function_name in the corresponding Json.php file.

The prefixes:

  HTTP GET     = get_function_name
  HTTP PUT     = update_function_name
  HTTP POST    = create_function_name
  HTTP DELETE  = delete_function_name
