There is no way to render JSON as HTML right now, it expects server to return HTML.

OTOH that's an interesting thought and it feels like just an addition of one command to whatever there are in actions ( https://twinspark.js.org/api/ts-action/ ) right now... I need to think about it a bit. :)



An action that renders HTML from JSON will either:

— Require additional client-side templates and then it's back straight to hell;

— Require really specific JSON structure, basically HTML-in-JSON, which will be ugly as hell and totally meaningless. Meaningless, because then it means I need to adapt my API to this format, and then I can just make it return HTML.


Yeah it’s only the first way, since the second is effectively the same as rendering html on the server.

As for the first - it could give a way to use legacy apis and static data. Not sure if I want this in the core, but… how hard can it be?


Sure, if it's only one additional five-liner action that's not even in core, then whoever wants to bring the hell back - it's only their own doing
