Yes you can do it.

In your controller,

respond_to do |format|
  #format.html # show.html.erb
  #format.xml  { render :xml => @post }
  format.json { render :json => @post }
end

or you can handle it as javascript

 respond_to do |format| format.js { render :json { :only => :name}.to_json end

 then you just access your action with ".js" in the end

Try like this

  format.any(:xml, :html, :json) { render :json => @post }
