Raccept (Rack Accepts Helper)

Converts Ruby objects to JSON or XML based on accepts headers.

Ignores legal Rack responses like “string” and [“string”,“string”]

Use

# in config.ru
use Raccept
run lambda {|env| [200,{"Content-Type" => "text/plain"}, {:this => 'is a Hash'} ] }

# Will respond with ...
# Accepts application/xml or text/xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hash>
  <this>is a Hash</this>
</hash>

# Accepts application/json or text/json
{"this":"is a Hash"}

Todo, maybe

• Make into gem?

• Get something leaner than ActiveSupport for to_xml?

• Support custom objects somehow?

• Add tests for it.
