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());

在全球。我正在使用下面的代码。我获取JSON的URI是http://www.digantakumar.com/api/values?json=true

protected void Application_Start()
{
    AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

    FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
    RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
    BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);

    GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter.MediaTypeMappings.Add(new  QueryStringMapping("json", "true", "application/json"));
}

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。

在最新版本的ASP.net WebApi 2中，在WebApiConfig.cs下，这将工作:

config.Formatters.Remove(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter);
config.Formatters.Add(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter);

MVC4快速提示#3 -从ASP中删除XML格式化器。Net Web API

在全球。Asax加一行:

GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Clear();

像这样:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

    RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
    RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);

    BundleTable.Bundles.RegisterTemplateBundles();
    GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Clear();
}

在WebApiConfig.cs中，在Register函数的末尾添加:

// Remove the XML formatter
config.Formatters.Remove(config.Formatters.XmlFormatter);

源。
