+If your dashboard is called `/dashboards/demo/` you can add `.json` to get `/dashboards/demo.json` which will return a JSON representation of the dashboard.

 - `DASHBOARD_ROW_LIMIT = 1000` - the maximum number of rows that can be returned from a query. This defaults to 100.
 - `DASHBOARD_UPGRADE_OLD_BASE64_LINKS` - prior to version 0.8a0 SQL URLs used base64-encoded JSON. If you set this to `True` any hits that include those old URLs will be automatically redirected to the upgraded new version. Use this if you have an existing installation of `django-sql-dashboard` that people already have saved bookmarks for.
 - `DASHBOARD_ENABLE_FULL_EXPORT` - set this to `True` to enable the full results CSV/TSV export feature. It defaults to `False`. Enable this feature only if you are confident that the database alias you are using does not have write permissions to anything.
+- `DASHBOARD_DISABLE_JSON` - set to `True` to disable the feature where `/dashboard/name-of-dashboard.json` provides a JSON representation of the dashboard. This defaults to `False`.
