You can serve JSON with code like:

fun rate () =
  let
    val mimetype : mimeType = blessMime "text/plain"
    val json = "...json string here..."
  in
    returnBlob (textBlob json) mimetype
  end

You can build json from the result of queries with List.mapQuery to
get a list of results then form a JSON string from it.
