Comment (by Collin Anderson):
I can see the case for content negotiation.
My two sense: In browsers, there's a standard `.json()` method for http
responses [0], and the Python `requests` library also has `.json()`
method, so a simple `.json()` method is becoming more of the norm for a
lot of simple use cases.
I don't think I'd be wrong if I said most apis only need to speak json.
Content negotiation, while needed for some use cases, is probably overkill
for many people's. Some people aren't going to want their endpoint to
accept xml and yaml.
