•

The content_type from the request headers

•

the content_type parameter from the URL

•

the accept from the request headers

•

The default is application/json

METHODS¶

serialize¶

Serialize a data structure. The format it is serialized to is determined automatically as described above. It can be one of YAML, XML, JSON, defaulting to JSON if there's no clear preference from the request.

deserialize¶

Deserialize the provided serialized data to a data structure. The type of serialization format depends on the request's content-type. For now, it can be one of YAML, XML, JSON.

content_type¶

Returns the content-type that was used during the last "serialize" / "deserialize" call. WARNING : you must call "serialize" / "deserialize" before calling "content_type". Otherwise the return value will be "undef".
