returned data should not be at the top-level or the json response about rest HOT 2 CLOSED

This project is heavily influenced by this article: http://www.vinaysahni.com/best-practices-for-a-pragmatic-restful-api

It talks about enveloping responses here

from rest.

I'm really appreciating your participation. Thank you very much. 😊

Just to justify my decision to send the actual data on the top level, I became to ponder on this in the past, but I came to the conclusion that the vast majority of the metadata which I would send along the response I should do via HTTP headers (if there's not a native header for that, I should send some X-Custom-Header instead). So it became pointless to envelop the response.

Another reason is to make things simpler and let the user (the developer who uses the generator) decides the better approach. As this project greatly implements separation of concerns, it should be easy to implement by just changing the services/response module. :)
