Hello Pradeep,

The best way to add properties to Person object would be adding it as an aspect.

The URL : http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/people Gets a collection of people stored in the repository.

Did you check the file tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\templates\webscripts\org\alfresco\repository\person\person.lib.ftl which helps the rendering of the JSON object for above URL. I think you should add those new properties here in to get the new values reflected.

FYI.. We have TTL on the same topic today which would help you. Join here https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/ctpnpi2e9hseipcotc4saq7q710

There is no difference between adding aspect to person from adding aspect to other nodes.
As how to add aspect depends on which api you are using. Since you are using alfresco as a repository and using custom UI.I guess you are using the webscript api you are to use is


PUT /alfresco/service/api/node/{store_type}/{store_id}/{id}
PUT /alfresco/service/api/path/{store_type}/{store_id}/{nodepath}

For example you can refer to my previous post https://forums.alfresco.com/comment/142799#comment-142799
