What is the name for inline/text/json with regard to Mojolicious handlers?

What is the name of the thing on the side of the fat-arrow in 

$c->render(inline => 'The result is <%= 1 + 1 %>.');
$c->render(text => 'I ♥ Mojolicious!');
$c->render(json => {foo => [1, 'test', 3]});

And how can I write my own?

Solution

    If you want to creaet a special thing that render special stuff, the way is with a handler,
