[JAVASCRIPT] Only generate api without the models

[triptec]

I'm using a generated swagger client in a reactjs project where we use Immutable, I would like to get the data as a json map instead of models. Is it only me that have a need for something like this?

An alternative would be to implement a toJSON() that would return the object representation.

The toJSON method was removed. Please refer to the discussion in #2288

Yes, I saw this. That would mean me doing:

resModel = client.getModels();
resObject = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(resModel));

I would mush prefer

resModel = client.getModels();
resObject = resModel.toJSON();

JSON.stringify also calls toJSON() and not toJson() so it would allow for internal properties on the model that would not be serialized if we don't want them to.

And here is what I said before: #2075 (comment)

@wing328 sorry but I'm not suggesting an implementation like:

ResModel.prototype.toJson = function() {
    return JSON.stringify(this);
}

but something along the lines of:

ResModel.prototype.toJSON = function() {
    return {
        "someString": this["someString"],
        "someArray": this["someArray"],
        "someOtherModel": this["someOtherModel"].toJSON()
    }
}
