Description

Permits the use of request parameter 'fields' to specify the fields to keep.
This is global on all api endpoints (across yaml renderer and json renderer).

For example, from standard call without anything:

curl -X GET http://localhost:6543/api/1/directory/3126f46e2f7dc752227131a2a658265e58f53e38
