Request array of json documents (disable item reference) from MongoDB using python eve

问题

Using Python eve framework, Is there any way to get response shown in first json type which is array of objects like shown in example?. I have tried to disable HATEOAS like it says here. Some View Applications use direct fetching on model and collections based on it, such as Backbone NodeJS data handler.

 [
  {
    "_id": "526c0e21977a67d6966dc763",
    "question": "1",
    "uk": "I heard a bloke on the train say that tomorrow's trains will be delayed.",
    "us": "I heard a guy on the train say that tomorrow's trains will be delayed."
  },
  {
    "_id": "526c0e21977a67d6966dc764",
    "question": "2",
    "uk": "Tom went outside for a fag. I think he smokes too much!",
    "us": "Tom went outside for a cigarette. I think he smokes too much!"
  }
]

Instead of returning the JSON object with _items key like it shows:

{
  "_items":[
            {
              "_id": "526c0e21977a67d6966dc763",
              "question": "1",
              "uk": "I heard a bloke on the train",
              "us": "I heard a guy on the train"
            },
            {
              "_id": "526c0e21977a67d6966dc764",
              "question": "2",
              "uk": "Tom went outside for a fag. I think he smokes too much!",
              "us": "Tom went outside for a cigarette. I think he smokes too much!"
            }
   ]
}

This is currently not possible, as the response payload is built as a dictionary in which several keys might appear (pagination data, HATOEAS links, and actual documents).

In theory we could add a new configuration option which would switch to a list-formatted (and simplified) layout. Should consider all the consequences though, so no promises, but consider opening a ticket.
