Dancer::Serializer - serializer wrapper for Dancer
version 1.3513
This module is the wrapper that provides support for different serializers.
The serializer configuration variable tells Dancer which serializer to use to deserialize request and serialize response.
You change it either in your config.yml file:
serializer: "YAML"
Or in the application code:
# setting JSON as the default serializer set serializer => 'JSON';
In your routes you can access parameters just like any route.
When in a route you return a Perl data structure, it will be serialized automatically to the respective serialized engine (for instance, JSON).
JSON
For PUT and POST methods you can access the request->body as a string, and you can unserialize it, if you really need to. If your content type is recognized by the serializer, request->body will be unserialized automatically, and it will be available as a standard parameter.
PUT
POST
request->body
For instance, if you call
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"id":"bar"}' /foo
your foo route can do something like:
foo
post "/foo" => { my $id = param('id'); # gets "bar" # ... }
