I tend to use Catalyst::Controller::REST and let it handle
serialization / deserialization for me.  Technically not MVC, but
since it's not code I have to look at, I don't care.  It's a bit
smarter than View::JSON in that it will return XML (etc.)
automagically if the client requests it.  Convenient.

It also provides un-Viewing (deserialization of the request body),
which doesn't fit nicely into the MVC pattern.  At least not in a way
I can see in my current caffeine-deprived state.

YMMV.
