[dancer-users] Dancer2::Plugin::SendAs

[John McDermott]

This looks cool.
What are the options for send_as? I have a dataset I send as JSON, but the
page that grabs it converts it to csv for the end user to load into a
spreadsheet. I would suppose YAML is an option for sending data, but are
there others such as CSV?
