Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-1123:
------------------------------------
bq. Is there really such a large use case for users who don't have a JSON
plugin installed but do need to view JSON results in the browser?
JSON has been all the rage for the past number of years - tons of people have
been programmed to say "yuck XML, yay JSON, YAML, etc".
In my experience, very few people have JSON plugins installed, and the
out-of-the-box experience will be horrible for those people (JSON is even used
in our beginner tutorial).

> Currently the jSON content type is not used. Instead the palin/text content
> type is used. The reason for this as I understand is to enable viewing the
> json response as as text in the browser. While this is valid argument, I do
> believe that there should at least be an option to configure this writer to
> use the JSON content type. According to
> [RFC4627|http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt] the json content type needs to
> be application/json (and not text/x-json). The reason this can be very
> helpful is that today you have plugins for browsers (e.g.
> [JSONView|http://brh.numbera.com/software/jsonview]) that can render any page
> with application/json content type in a user friendly manner (just like xml
> is supported).
