I like Felipe Leusin's approach best - make sure browsers get JSON without compromising content negotiation from clients that actually want XML. The only missing piece for me was that the response headers still contained content-type: text/html. Why was that a problem? Because I use the JSON Formatter Chrome extension, which inspects content-type, and I don't get the pretty formatting I'm used to. I fixed that with a simple custom formatter that accepts text/html requests and returns application/json responses:

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");
    }
}

像这样注册:

config.Formatters.Add(new BrowserJsonFormatter());

在最近更新了核心库和Json之后，多年来一直使用Felipe Leusin的答案。Net，我遇到了System.MissingMethodException:SupportedMediaTypes。 在我的案例中，解决方案是安装System.Net.Http，希望对遇到同样意外异常的其他人有所帮助。NuGet显然会在某些情况下删除它。手动安装后，该问题得到了解决。

不要使用浏览器来测试API。

相反，尝试使用允许您指定请求的HTTP客户机，例如CURL，甚至Fiddler。

这个问题的问题在客户端，而不是API。web API根据浏览器的请求正确地工作。

这段代码使json成为我的默认格式，并允许我使用XML格式。我将附加xml=true。

GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter.MediaTypeMappings.Add(new QueryStringMapping("xml", "true", "application/xml"));
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Add(new MediaTypeHeaderValue("text/html"));

谢谢大家!

你只需要像这样修改App_Start/WebApiConfig.cs:

public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        // Web API configuration and services

        // Web API routes
        config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
        //Below formatter is used for returning the Json result.
        var appXmlType = config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.FirstOrDefault(t => t.MediaType == "application/xml");
        config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Remove(appXmlType);
        //Default route
        config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
           name: "ApiControllerOnly",
           routeTemplate: "api/{controller}"
       );
    }

从MSDN构建一个单页应用程序与ASP。NET和AngularJS(大约41分钟)。

public static class WebApiConfig
{
    public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        // ... possible routing etc.

        // Setup to return json and camelcase it!
        var formatter = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter;
        formatter.SerializerSettings.ContractResolver =
            new Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver();
    }

它应该是当前的，我试过了，它工作。
