Measuring Size Of output JSON of REST API?

`@HttpGet
global static List getAccounts() {
List accounts = [select id, name from Account];
System.debug(JSON.serialize(accounts).length());
return accounts;
}`

The above code just does JSON serialisation that SF is going to do instantly, but does it in advance and records it out to the debug log. It’s a bit inefficient and only for casual checking

Realistically, I would use Snuggle from the control range as recorded here:
