Description

It would be useful to be able to retrieve results of a crawl as JSON. There are a few things that need to be discussed:

• how to return bulk results using Restlet (WritableRepresentation subclass?)

• what should be the format of results?

I think it would make sense to provide a single record retrieval (by primary key), all records, and records within a range. This incidentally matches well the capabilities of the Gora Query class
