Render output format (HTML, JSON, XML) depending on parameter?

Question

is there a good or proper way to render the output in Play Framework depending on a parameter? Example:

For HTML:

http://lo         


        

Answer 1

I wanted the user to be able to be viewed in the browser as html or as json so the accepts method did not work for me.

I solved it by putting a generic renderMethod in a base class with the following style syntax

public static Result requestType( )
{
    if( request().uri().indexOf("json") != -1)
    {
        return ok(Json.toJson(request()));
    }
    else 
    {
        return ok("Got HTML request " + request() );
    }
}
