pgjones changed the title WIP: Allow dictionaries return values as JSON Allow dictionaries return values as JSON

This supports an increasingly common usecase whereby JSON is the
primary response (rather than a templated string). Given Flask has a
short syntax for HTML reponses, it seems fitting that it should also
do so for JSON responses. In practice it allows,
     @app.route("/")
     def index():
         return {
             "api_stuff": "values",
         }

Since Flask 1.1.0 returning a dict will lead to responding with json by
default.
