6.10 Accepted Request Content-Type

A Micronaut’s controller action consumes application/json by default. Consuming other content types is supported with the @Consumes annotation, or the consumes member of any HTTP method annotation.

Customizing Processed Content Types

Normally the JSON parsing only happens if the content type is application/json. The other MediaTypeCodec classes behave in a similar manner that they have pre-defined content types they can process. To extend the list of media types that a given codec should process, you can provide configuration that will be stored in CodecConfiguration:

micronaut:
    codec:
        json:
            additionalTypes:
              - text/javascript
              - ...

Currently supported configuration prefixes are json, json-stream, text, and text-stream.
