Either set ui.jsonViewAsDefault = "all" in your local config file or set env var "VIEW_JSON_DEFAULT=all"

If you like this new behaviour for strings only and not for other types you can set this config to "string" instead of "all". As Json view mode is only supported for string and hash by now (will add more in the future) setting this config to "string,hash" works to but is now equivalent to "all".
As written in docs/configuration.md this config value accepts a list of datatypes to display as json to not force all of them as json per default...
