bit of confusion over enums

[snacktime <sn...@gmail.com>]

Is gender a special case?  I'm implementing a container using the shindig
javascript, and trying to figure out how to return values for enums.   Could
anyone give me a simple sample of the json to output for an enum?

Also while I'm here, what's the deal with formatted vs unstructured?  I
haven't looked at an rpc call to a shindig container returning the address
yet, but I did see that the person name is returned using formatted instead
of unstructured.

Alternatively, is there a container somewhere running shindig with a gadget
that makes rpc calls to return all of the data structures shindig supports?
I don't mind going through the code, but being able to see some actual
output would answer all my questions.

You could always use opensocial.Enum(), see enum.js

For json, see JsonPerson.constructEnum in jsonperson.js.
