How to specify default format for FOS\RestBundle to json?

Question

My corresponding configuration is

fos_rest:
    view:
        view_response_listener: force

sensio_framework_extra:
    view:
        annotations: false

You may specify a default_format that the routing loader will use for the _format parameter if none is specified.

# app/config/config.yml
fos_rest:
    routing_loader:
        default_format: json

By default, routes are generated with {_format} string. If you want to get clean urls (/jobs instead /jobs.{_format}) then all you have to do is add some configuration:

# app/config/config.yml
fos_rest:
    routing_loader:
        include_format:       false

Have a look at the FOSRestBundle documentation for more informations.
