REST datasource with JSON

[adder]

in REST datasource show case, I want to client send JSON and consume JSON
so I add one line

countryDS.setDataFormat(DSDataFormat.JSON);

and I find grid send retrieve http request as following

{
      "dataSource": "mydatasource", 
      "operationType": "fetch", 
      "data": null, 
      "oldValues": null
}

and my backend response JSON as following

{
    response:{
        status:0,
        startrow:0,
        endrow:3,
        totalrows:3,
        data:{
            record:[
                {
                    continent:'North America',
                    countryname:'United States',
                    countrycode:'US',
                    area:9631420,

                    gdp:12360000,
                    independence:'1776-07-04',
                    government:'federal republic',
                    government_desc:2,
                    capital:'Washington, DC',
                    member_g8:'true',
                    article:'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_states'
                },
                {
                    continent:'Europe',
                    countryname:'Germany',

                    independence:'1871-01-18',
                    government:'federal republic',
                    government_desc:2,
                    capital:'Berlin',
                    member_g8:'true',
                    article:'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany'
                },
                {
                    continent:'Europe',
                    countryname:'United Kingdom',
                    countrycode:'UK',
                    area:244820,
                    population:60609153,
                    gdp:1830000,
                    independence:'1801-01-01',
                    government:'constitutional monarchy',
                    government_desc:1,
                    capital:'London',
                    member_g8:'true',
                    article:'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_kingdom'
                },
                
            ]
        }
    }
}

but nothing show on Grid, and no any warning or exception show on debug console, anyone has idea about this?

That response does match the expected RestDataSource format. The "data: { }" wrapper should be removed and "records" should be named "data". The metadata is also not capitalized correctly. See the RestDataSource docs for details.
