I think this is a basicly feature

This might be because the response has an incorrect Content-Type header. Usually, JSON responses have a Content-Type: application/json which we check internally to prettify and format the response.

Can you confirm the response headers list has a proper Content-Type associated with JSON?

I have re-check and realize it just plain/text . I still hope there will parse json pretty despite of plain/text . because Postman and Insomnia still prettier plaintext data . btw Hoppscoth is super lightweight and fast ❤️

I will add something to that which may be a bit off-topic. This probably wouldn't have happened if you could set default headers at collection level. This is the main thing keeping me away from Hoppscotch. It's unusable if you have to define the Response type and API key for every single request. Imagine changing your api key on a collection with 300 requests.

Hi @marlonbasten, we’re working on collection level headers and authorization feature, expected to be released by December. Track its progress on #2259.

I add middleware to modify response header and it all works fine now

Is there any scope to add auto detect or an override feature to response formatting? Similarly to how Postman/Insomnia do it?

I don't want to have to add middleware in order to have my HTML responses formatted as JSON.

Hi @liyasthomas, I believe this issue has not been resolved. Setting request headers at the collection level does not solve the problem of response body formatting for non-JSON response headers. Could you please reopen this issue?

a lot of json endpoints return the wrong content type, we should still try to format them, imo

Is there still no workaround or fix? This is very annoying for a poorly designed API.
