I'm trying to do a print export using arcgis 10.1 and latest esri jsapi.
Is there any out of the box way that I can extract out Web_Map_as_JSON from a given webmap?
esri.tasks.PrintTask generates a Web_Map_as_JSON object on its execute method.
I can capture the request parameter while posting but I need much cleaner approach. I have to post this to another application which works as a proxy between my client and server.
Please help!
You could try PrintTask.prototype._getPrintDefinition(map);

Out of the box.. I'm not sure, but you can roll out your own by following this specification:
It's pretty daunting at first, but you do have all the data in the map and layers object. Probably the best tip I can give is for graphic layers: just call graphics.toJson() when you're specify its features.
