I need to restrict respond_to to JSON only, because I am constructing a web service that will provide JSON formatted output only. How do I do this?
You could create a
before_filter, defined in theApplicationControllerwhich would check therequest.formatfor JSON and then respond with an appropriate 4xx HTTP error code and message if not matched.If to enforce this for all controllers the invoke the filter in the
ApplicationController, otherwise invoke it in the selected controllers of interest.
