=head1 DESCRIPTION
This action will serialize the body of an HTTP Response. The serializer is
-selected by introspecting the requests content-type header.
+selected by introspecting the HTTP Requests content-type header.
-It requires that your Catalyst controller have a "serialize" entry
-in it's configuration.
+It requires that your Catalyst controller is properly configured to set up the
+mapping between Content Type's and Serialization classes.
-The specifics of serializing each content-type is implemented as
-a plugin to L<Catalyst::Action::Serialize>.
+The specifics of serializing each content-type is implemented as a plugin to
+L<Catalyst::Action::Serialize>.
+
+Typically, you would use this ActionClass on your C<end> method. However,
+nothing is stopping you from choosing specific methods to Serialize:
+
+ sub foo :Local :ActionClass('Serialize') {
+ .. populate stash with data ..
+ }
+
+When you use this module, the request class will be changed to
+L<Catalyst::Request::REST>.
=head1 CONFIGURATION
=item default
-The default Serialization format. See the next section for
-available options. This is used if a requested content-type
-is not recognized.
+The Content-Type of the default Serialization format. This must be a
+Content-Type associated with a plugin in the "map" section below.
+
+This is used if a requested content-type is not recognized.
=item stash_key
-Where in the stash the data you want serialized lives.
+We will serialize the data that lives in this location in the stash. So
+if the value is "rest", we will serialize the data under:
+
+ $c->stash->{'rest'}
=item map

+=head1 HELPFUL PEOPLE
+
+Daisuke Maki pointed out that early versions of this Action did not play
+well with others, or generally behave in a way that was very consistent
+with the rest of Catalyst.

You likely want to look at L<Catalyst::Controller::REST>, which implements
-a sensible set of defaults for a controller doing REST.
