Catalyst::Controller::REST + DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator
works pretty well:

   $self->status_ok(
        $c,
        entity => $rs->search({}, {
          result_class =>  'DBIx::Class::ResultClass::HashRefInflator'
        })->next
   );

Then if you ask for a Content-Type of application/json you'll get JSON
from that in your response.
