I was going to suggest the same thing, but when I looked at it, it wasn't
clear if this would allow for grabbing data like the request headers
(allowing you to determine what form the submitted data takes). Based on the
code Carmen posted, it looks like the idea is to be able to use the same
controllers whether the data comes in from regular requests or as JSON data.
Granted, that could still be done in the controllers, but it does end up
being a bit less elegant.
