Mango::Catalyst::Controller::REST is a base Catalyst controller that automatically enables REST activity on actions in that controller using Catalyst::Action::REST.
By default, REST looks for data in the entity stash key, for forwards to the appropriate view based on the Content-Type header, or the view parameter.
In addition to the formats supported by Catalyst::Action;:REST, the following has been added:
Content-Type:
'text/plain' => [qw/View Text/],
'text/html' => [qw/View HTML/],
'application/xhtml+xml' => [qw/View XHTML/],
'application/rss+xml' => [qw/View RSS/],
'application/atom+xml' => [qw/View Atom/],
view parameter:
txt, text => [qw/View Text/],
htm, html => [qw/View HTML/],
xhtml => [qw/View XHTML/],
rss => [qw/View RSS/],
atom => [qw/View Atom/],
json => JSON
yml, yaml => YAML
