If default response type is JSON, do we need an auto serializer?

[kgriffs]

Need to figure out whether an auto-serializer is needed/necessary/should be encouraged for data APIs? If so, look into implementing as a before/after hook.

Also, benchmark WSME to see if it a viable alternative. Con: json-patch support may be wonky?

There is one question before this: do we support non-UTF-8 JSON? According to rfc4627, UTF-16/32 LE/BE JSON are valid. If we support them, then we need to handle encoding in auto serialization/(denationalization, possibly). I know the requests library does it, FYI.
