NAME

       Dancer::Serializer - serializer wrapper for Dancer

DESCRIPTION

       This module is the wrapper that provides support for different serializers.

USAGE

   Configuration
       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").

       For "PUT" and "POST" methods you can access the "request-"body> as a string, and you can unserialize it, if you really need. If your
       content type is recognized by the serializer, "request-"body> will be unserialized automatically, and it will be available as a standard
       parameter.

       For instance, if you call

	curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json -d "{'id':'bar'}" /foo

       your "foo" route can do something like:

	 post "/foo" => {
	    my $id = param('id'); # gets "bar"
	    #  ...
	 }
