How not to pass the format ( json, html, xml ) to the REST URL

I am using Rails 3 and I am using this new Rails 3 thing that it can do with respond_to and respond_with, so it my controller I have something like this:

http://davidwparker.com/2010/03/09/api-in-rails-respond-to-and-respond-with/

respont_to :json

def show

    @organization = Organization.includes([:tableNamesBlah]).find(params[:id])

    respond_with(@organization)

  end

and I am passing it to a view with JBUILDER,....

so in the URL If I go to 

http://localhost:3000/manager/1.json

it works fine and returns the data in JSON format but if I go to the same URI without specifying .json as the end of it then it won't return anything.

How can I modify my code in a way that I can see the data but don't need to type .json at the end of the URL ?

Is it something I should do in controller? or should I change the way JBUILDER is processing the data or is it something with the routes? Please let me know if you need to see other parts of the code

If you're looking to set a default format, you can set it in your routes.rb file:

resources :things, defaults: { format: :json }

This should give you the behaviour you want (if I'm understanding your question correctly):

/things/1       # returns json
/things/1.json  # returns json
/things/1.html  # returns html
