Hi! I'm very new to Mediawiki and trying to build a wiki site. I plan to use it as part of a server for mobile app, so I want JSON. I'm using Semantic MediaWiki(SMW) and have added some attributes to several pages, and now I have trouble make SMW return those data in JSON. There are 2 questions:

1. How to make a short url to return all attributes on a certain page? That is: {{#ask [[Page title]] | ?attr1 | ?attr2 }} The current way is to use special:ask, but with all those parameters it's too long to be a good api I think... 2. JSON returned by SMW has many information I don't want, such as printrequests and the serializer. I just want those attributes. What I want is something like this: { title: "Page title", attr1: "value1", attr2: "value2" } Can I get such a clean JSON by using SMW? Also, link=none seems don't work on json format?

Maybe my requirements are a little complicated. So I'm also wondering if I can make a formatter for myself. It may meet all the two points above, and is very flexible. Or use a new php and post requests in it to the mediawiki's special:ask page, get the returned JSON, decode and encode(only useful things), and return the result. But I think there must be better way to do it, without sending another request to the same server. So what's the best way to solve these?

Waiting for help. Thanks!
