Output Data Types

The Response Body can be returned as plain text, JSON, XML, HTML, CLOD or YAML by using the "output" parameter with each of the resources.

Caution

For technical reasons beyond my control at this time, the Accept header is completely ignored by the resources. If you simply MUST send an Accept header, try '*/*' first. If that doesn't work, 'application/json' should.
