formatBody

fun formatBody(body: Any?, contentType: ContentType = ContentType.Any): String(source)

String bodies are highlighted using the string-based JSON/form highlighter.
JsonElement bodies are highlighted via the element tree highlighter (no intermediate string).
Typed objects with a JSON contentType are encoded to JsonElement first if a serializer is available, then highlighted via the element tree highlighter.
All other cases fall back to Any.toString.
