Symfony form widget custom rendering

I am looking for a way to automate a form output to json format instead of html. I am using JQuery dform http://plugins.jquery.com/project/dform to create dynamic forms.

Sample output:

{ "type" : "p", "html" : "You must login" }, { "name" : "username", "id" : "txt-username", "caption" : "Username", "type" : "text", "placeholder" : "E.g. [email protected]" }, { "name" : "password", "caption" : "Password", "type" : "password" }, { "type" : "submit", "value" : "Login" }

Please help

Create a renderJSON method and attach it to BaseForm. The method would iterate through the the sfFormFields and build an array that you could then pass to json_encode.

An ideal solution would be to inject your own class into the sfWidgetForm inheritance chain with a renderJSON method so that individual widgets can control their JSON format. Unfortunately, Symfony makes this very difficult to do.
