// only accept content types supported by the serializer via the assert method.
$app->get("/pages/{id}.{_format}", function ($id) use ($app) {
    // assume a page_repository service exists that returns Page objects. The
    // object returned has getters and setters exposing the state.

    }

    return new Response($app['serializer']->serialize($page, $format), 200, array(
        "Content-Type" => $app['request']->getMimeType($format)
    ));
