Module: Utopia::Controller::Respond

Defined in:
lib/utopia/controller/respond.rb

Overview

A controller layer which provides a convenient way to respond to different requested content types. The order in which you add converters matters, as it determines how the incoming Accept: header is mapped, e.g. the first converter is also defined as matching the media range /.
