How to specify default format for FOS\RestBundle to json?

Question

My corresponding configuration is

fos_rest:
    view:
        view_response_listener: force

sensio_framework_extra:
    view:
        annotations: false

I couldn't test this solution myself but following the documentation it seems that you can use a default format by giving rules on path

config.yml

fos_rest:
    format_listener:
        rules:
            # setting fallback_format to json means that instead of considering
            # the next rule in case of a priority mismatch, json will be used
            -
                path: '^/'
                host: 'api.%domain%'
                priorities: ['json', 'xml']
                fallback_format: json
                prefer_extension: false

With such, a request made with Accept-headers containing

text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8,application/json

Will result in a json Request format
