@mjrousos are you interested in providing a first draft of this?

[Rick-Anderson]

@guardrex is this something you could do?

[guardrex]

Sure ... I'll do it. I guess next sprint is ok? I have a full plate at the moment.

[EDIT] Moving it up to this sprint. I'll kick a P2 back later if necessary.

@Rick-Anderson @tdykstra What's the where for this? The current response formatting topic with controllers is under web API ...

https://docs.microsoft.com/aspnet/core/web-api/advanced/formatting

... but this topic is IActionResult for middleware. Where would you want this? @tdykstra, I think you're moving middleware subtopics elsewhere leaving a single middleware topic in Fundamentals 👍❤️. I think those other middleware topics are headed for the Advanced node? Would this one go in the Advanced node?

Content: @khellang, would you like to submit the Turn it up to 11 section of your blog post as the template (and example) for the topic with your name on the topic? I'll do the conversion if you provide a commit or PR, and you can add/subtract from it as you wish. I'll post instructions if you're interested.

@guardrex This could go under Advanced but it's still about response formatting, so I think it fits better under Web API right after Format response data.

[guardrex]

Would never use the approach tho with web API AFAICT. Such projects would just use a controller and OOB IActionResult with either in-box output formatting or custom. This seems more like a hybrid middleware-IActionResult approach and would be used in middleware scenarios. Just reading the tea leaves tho ... Scott is the web API guy. lol

[EDIT] Do u want to ping Ryan to ask? ... if not, I'll plan for web API under Format response data. Let's cross-link from the bottom of the middleware topic.

@jkotalik please suggest where in the TOC this topic should go.

[guardrex]

@jkotalik ping ... if too busy to 👀 tho ... let me know ... I'll kick this back a sprint ... no worries.

I don't really know much about IActionResultExecutor. @rynowak ?
