Check for __getitem__ and then attempt to convert to a dict.
The check for __getitem__ is there as there's no universal way to
check if an object is a mapping type, but this is a likely proxy

json.JSONEncoder cannot serialize Numpy data types. Numpy arrays
and array scalars have a tolist() method which casts the object to
a standard python data type.

Forgot to update the default view name/description functions to the new
setup.

Now supports each View having its own name and description function and
overriding the global default.

Updated the setting to have a default function.

Added settings and additions to formatting.py
