I want to return JSON just like all the cool kids with WebApi 2.0
I added BrowserJsonFormatter:
public class BrowserJsonFormatter : JsonMediaTypeFormatter{
public BrowserJsonFormatter()
{
this.SupportedMediaTypes.Add(new MediaTypeHeaderValue("text/html"));
this.SerializerSettings.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
}
public override void SetDefaultContentHeaders(Type type, HttpContentHeaders headers, MediaTypeHeaderValue mediaType)
{
base.SetDefaultContentHeaders(type, headers, mediaType);
headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
}
}To the application and then registered it in App_Start/WebApiConfig.cs:
public static class WebApiConfig{
public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config){
// Web API configuration and services
// Web API routes
config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
); config.Formatters.Add(new BrowserJsonFormatter());
}
}
Now I feel like a hipster. ;-)
