Hi Puneet,

I believe so, the following code snippet works for me.

sub json {
   return 'application/json';
}

get '/testjson' => sub {
   content_type json;
   return template 'json.tt', { r => { id => 1, name => "Widgets Co."} 
}, { layout => undef };
};

Where json.tt is

{
     "name": "<% r.name %>",
     "id":<% r.id %>
}

Cheers

Matt
