When an API client makes an HTTP request with an Accept header containing the value "application/json", the API server should respond with a payload formatted as JSON. Here's a detailed explanation:
* Accept Header:
* Purpose: The Accept header indicates the media type(s) that the client is willing to receive from the server.
* Value "application/json": Specifies that the client expects a response in JSON format.
* Valid JSON Response:
* Format: JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that uses key-value pairs.
* Example: A valid JSON response for the requested format would be{"status": "healthy"}.
* Key: "status"
* Value: "healthy"
