 The StackTach REST Interface
 ############################
 
+JSON Response Format
+********************
+
+StackTach uses an tabular JSON response format to make it easier for
+Stacky to display generic results.
+
+The JSON response format is as follows: ::
+
+  [
+    ['column header', 'column header', 'column header', ...],
+    ['row 1, col 1', 'row 1, col 2', 'row 1, col 3', ...],
+    ['row 2, col 1', 'row 2, col 2', 'row 2, col 3', ...],
+    ['row 3, col 1', 'row 3, col 2', 'row 3, col 3', ...],
+    ...
+  ]
