Why it rendered as HTML instead of "neat" JSON ? Any setting I need to set?

Not sure. Could you add more steps here on how to reproduce?

I also have the same problem. Whenever I create a new content type with nested fields like Paragraph, Field collection and then try to display in rest json through drupal 8 serializer/views. The result is similar. For an example the content type has following:

name (plain text)
addresses (field collection / paragraph, with unlimited values)
Street (plain text)
District (Plain text)

Now if we do a rest export in views with following details
FORMAT
Format: Serializer | Settings
Show :Fields | Settings
FIELDS
Content: name
Content: addresses (formatter: list)

We get the output like above. It is HTML not JSON. If we strip HTML, it will give strange string with lots of space \n characters, and values of street and district. If we put formatter = field collection Instead of field formatter = List then we get html as output.

I am facing the same issue mentioned in comment #5 by @pdhakal. rest_views module isn't solving my issue. I will be looking for the solution.
