-----------------------------------------------------------
I agree with Chris wholeheartedly.
It doesn't seem to be user-friendly to return a content-type that isn't inline
with the RFC standard and I can't help but feel that the number of users who
will be negatively impacted by this change will be small. Those users can then
either use XML or some other text format, or install a JSON plugin for their
browser.
There's a reason this keeps coming up in discussion.
Chris, can you put together a patch which changes the content-type?

> Currently the jSON content type is not used. Instead the palin/text content
> type is used. The reason for this as I understand is to enable viewing the
> json response as as text in the browser. While this is valid argument, I do
> believe that there should at least be an option to configure this writer to
> use the JSON content type. According to
> [RFC4627|http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt] the json content type needs to
> be application/json (and not text/x-json). The reason this can be very
> helpful is that today you have plugins for browsers (e.g.
> [JSONView|http://brh.numbera.com/software/jsonview]) that can render any page
> with application/json content type in a user friendly manner (just like xml
> is supported).
