       Dancer::Serializer - serializer wrapper for Dancer

       See Dancer for details about the complete framework.

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 to. 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"
            #  ...
         }
