+This is one way of calling another action (method) in the same or

+in the same controller or C<< $c->controller('MyController')->my_method($c, @args) >>

+The main difference is that 'forward' uses some of the Catalyst request
+cycle overhead, including debugging, which may be useful to you. On the
+other hand, there are some complications to using 'forward', restrictions
+on values returned from 'forward', and it may not handle errors as you prefer.
+Whether you use 'forward' or not is up to you; it is not considered superior to
+the other ways to call a method.

+'forward' calls another action, by its private name. If you give a

pass arguments in an arrayref. The action will receive the arguments in

+=head1 DATA HANDLERS
+
+The L<Catalyst::Request> object uses L<HTTP::Body> to populate 'classic' HTML
+form parameters and URL search query fields. However it has become common
+for various alternative content types to be PUT or POSTed to your controllers
+and actions. People working on RESTful APIs, or using AJAX often use JSON,
+XML and other content types when communicating with an application server. In
+order to better support this use case, L<Catalyst> defines a global configuration
+option, C<data_handlers>, which lets you associate a content type with a coderef
+that parses that content type into something Perl can readily access.
+
+ package MyApp::Web;
+
+ use Catalyst;
+ use JSON::Maybe;
+
+ __PACKAGE__->config(
+ data_handlers => {
+ 'application/json' => sub { local $/; decode_json $_->getline },
+ },
+ ## Any other configuration.
+ );
+
+ __PACKAGE__->setup;
+
+By default L<Catalyst> comes with a generic JSON data handler similar to the
+example given above, which uses L<JSON::Maybe> to provide either L<JSON::PP>
+(a pure Perl, dependency free JSON parser) or L<Cpanel::JSON::XS> if you have
+it installed (if you want the faster XS parser, add it to you project Makefile.PL
+or dist.ini, cpanfile, etc.)
+
+The C<data_handlers> configuation is a hashref whose keys are HTTP Content-Types
+(matched against the incoming request type using a regexp such as to be case
+insensitive) and whose values are coderefs that receive a localized version of
+C<$_> which is a filehandle object pointing to received body.
+
+This feature is considered an early access release and we reserve the right
+to alter the interface in order to provide a performant and secure solution to
+alternative request body content. Your reports welcomed!
