Use Catalyst::View::JSON. Do not use other things (unless it is REST, in which case let it delegate to Catalyst::Action::Serialize::JSON, but in the future I am hoping to patch this to use Catalyst::View::JSON as well) as that is not the right way to do it. Additionally, View::JSON has a lot of use cases and maturity baked into it. It handles utf8 properly, and many other little things. Doing it yourself is wrong, and unless you copied the serialization code from View::JSON, you are missing something. (The Catalyst::Plugin::Server mechanism is fine if you are using that, too. For RPC stuff you do need to alter the request cycle slightly, however I would hope it still uses Catalyst::View::JSON) -J
