So we've seen that we're getting csv back, if we'd run this again, boom, there you go, we have our csv data, we have the status,
0:10
here if you look at the headers you can see the content type is set along with the character set, so we're definitely doing the exchange correctly.
0:16
Now, what if we wanted our json back, here is some stuff, we'll get to that later, so what if we want to say I am going to accept,
0:27
notice over here we can say csv, and we should get the same, maybe we would like to be able to say json as well, send json,
0:37
alright, so we can come over here, let's go back to our api, here, and we can say accept type= text/ csv,
0:56
let's go over here and maybe make that csv, application/ json, so I put json back, run it again, oh sorry that was supposed to be just accept,
1:06
okay, so now, let's try this again, first of all, let's go over here and say csv, we should get the same, now if we put json, now we get json,
1:19
isn't that cool, here, let's do like this, accept csv, so turn this one off, look at that, turn this one on, and we'll go back to json.

So you can see we have both of these renderers in play in the next chapter what we are going to look at is
1:37
how to make this entirely controlled by the client and have the server have nothing to do with it,
1:43
it will just render whatever it's supposed to render, like whatever they ask for, but, for now, we'll have these two types,
1:49
because I want to still have the json option.
