require 'active_support/json'
module ActionController #:nodoc:
# Responder is responsible for exposing a resource to different mime requests,
# usually depending on the HTTP verb. The responder is triggered when
# <code>respond_with</code> is called. The simplest case to study is a GET request:
#
# class PeopleController < ApplicationController
# respond_to :html, :xml, :json
#
# def index
# @people = Person.find(:all)
# respond_with(@people)
# end
# end
#
# When a request comes in, for example for an XML response, three steps happen:
#
# 1) the responder searches for a template at people/index.xml;
#
# 2) if the template is not available, it will invoke <code>#to_xml</code> on the given resource;
#
# 3) if the responder does not <code>respond_to :to_xml</code>, call <code>#to_format</code> on it.
#
# === Builtin HTTP verb semantics
#
# The default Rails responder holds semantics for each HTTP verb. Depending on the
# content type, verb and the resource status, it will behave differently.
#
# Using Rails default responder, a POST request for creating an object could
# be written as:
#
# def create
# @user = User.new(params[:user])
# flash[:notice] = 'User was successfully created.' if @user.save
# respond_with(@user)
# end
#
# Which is exactly the same as:
#
# def create
# @user = User.new(params[:user])
#
# respond_to do |format|
# if @user.save
# flash[:notice] = 'User was successfully created.'
# format.html { redirect_to(@user) }
# format.xml { render :xml => @user, :status => :created, :location => @user }
# else
# format.html { render :action => "new" }
# format.xml { render :xml => @user.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
# end
# end
# end
#
# The same happens for PUT and DELETE requests.
#
# === Nested resources
#
# You can supply nested resources as you do in <code>form_for</code> and <code>polymorphic_url</code>.
# Consider the project has many tasks example. The create action for
# TasksController would be like:
#
# def create
# @project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
# @task = @project.comments.build(params[:task])
# flash[:notice] = 'Task was successfully created.' if @task.save
# respond_with(@project, @task)
# end
#
# Giving an array of resources, you ensure that the responder will redirect to
# <code>project_task_url</code> instead of <code>task_url</code>.
#
# Namespaced and singleton resources require a symbol to be given, as in
# polymorphic urls. If a project has one manager which has many tasks, it
# should be invoked as:
#
# respond_with(@project, :manager, @task)
#
# Check <code>polymorphic_url</code> documentation for more examples.
#
