if you have:

def mycreate(): return dict(form=crud.create(db.mytable))

you normally call: http://..../mycreate to get the form.
You can also call it with

http://..../mycreate.json?json=[]

where [] is a URLencoded JSONencoded dictionary containing the new
record. The ".json" instructs web2py not to generate the form but to
expect a json input. This is experimental but give it  try. Should
work for any page including crud forms.
