Create a method to return result as raw json about rethinkdb.driver HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Ali,

If you need help, please have a look here in this section of the readme that outlines the help and support options for this driver.

Normally, GitHub issues here are mostly reserved for bug reports and issues surrounding changes to the driver source code.

Hi Ali,

Perhaps I closed the issue too soon and probably should have explained a little more.

The proposal for .RunAsRowJson() is slightly ambiguous. The string result in the query is ambiguous because it requires a discussion to determine what result should be in terms of JSON.

string result = R.Db(DbName).Table(TableName)
                   .GetAll(R.Args(ids))
                   .RunAsRowJson(connection);

• Is result the semantic JSON result of the query?
• Is result the raw JSON protocol response that is received from the server?
• What about cursor responses as result JSON? Cursor response results that bypass the driver internal management can cause memory leaks on the server if opened cursors are not properly driven by the client.
• ... and a whole slew of many other issues as well.

So, the proposal isn't quite as clear cut as it may seem.

What should .RunAsRowJson() return? I don't know.

My gut feeling is that you are probably looking for is the ReQL .ToJsonString() method. And this is why I originally suggested carrying the conversation over on Discord or Gitter.im if you need help using it.

Hope that helps,
Brian
