Srimanth Gunturi commented on FALCON-184:
-----------------------------------------
I am thinking the default content-type for all API calls should be JSON (not
XML), thereby not requiring additional headers (users forget to add them
frequently). Each API call should document the default content-type and
alternate content-types.
For example, {{/api/admin/stack}} would have a default content-type of
{{text/plain}} with no alternative content-types.
{{/api/admin/version}} would provide {{application/json}} by default, and
{{text/xml}} as alternative.
> Select default content-type for API responses and update docs

> Wiki documentation shows output in JSON. However it does not mention that a
> request header of {{Accept: application/json}} is required to output JSON
> content.
> Either we make JSON the default output in API thereby not requiring an
> {{Accept}} header. Or we document the header.
