How am I supposed to create a Response with JSON from a string? This seems to work:

Response(Status.OK).header("Content-Type", ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON.value).body("""{"foo":"bar","baz":17}""")

but is there some nicer way?

you want a lens.

In this case I have "free format" JSON in a string, with no corresponding schema or class.

[dave]

then you can just use a Map<String, Any>

[dave]

it will work just the same

[dave]

if it's just a string then you can probably use Body.string(ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON).toLens()

Ah, that works. Nice.
