Overview

The Controller handles querying models using either pre-defined scopes or hash based queries; and also including optional associations with the reply

It assigns the following meaning the these parameters.

* f: (fields)   Include the following fields (usually methods) with the reply
* w: (with)     Uses the defined scope to query and/or add extra data to the model
* q: (query)    Query the model using fields and values
     it is an array of clauses, which can be either forms
     { field: value }, or { field: { op: 'like', value: 'value%' } }
* i: (include)  Include associations along with the model in the reply
* o: (order)    Order by, { field => "ASC|DESC" }
* l: (limit)    Limit the returned rows to the count
* s: (start)    Start the query at the given offset (for paging)
* df: (data format) Should data be returned as 'object' (default) or 'array'

The parameters are deliberately shortened so they can be used in query parameters without blowing the URL up to an unacceptable length
