I am trying to create an API and i need to return xml irrespective of the request format. now i have the following in my controller
def index @posts = Post.all respond_to do |format| format.xml end end
i have a index.xml.builder
'/posts.xml' works for me but not '/posts'
i tried request.format = :xml which gave me a SystemStackError (stack level too deep):. why is it happening.
How can i force the controller to render xml for all types of request ? so that i dont need to specify the format in the url which looks clean and tidy
