只需在WebApiConfig类中添加这两行代码

public static class WebApiConfig
{
     public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
     {
          //add this two line 
          config.Formatters.Clear();
          config.Formatters.Add(new JsonMediaTypeFormatter());


          ............................
      }
}

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());

我发现Chrome应用“高级REST客户端”非常适合使用REST服务。你可以将Content-Type设置为application/json。 高级REST客户端

一个快速的选择是使用MediaTypeMapping专门化。下面是一个在Application_Start事件中使用QueryStringMapping的例子:

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

现在，只要url包含querystring(在这种情况下，a=b)， Json响应就会显示在浏览器中。

您可以使用如下:

GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.Clear();
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.Add(new JsonMediaTypeFormatter());

在WebApiConfig.cs中，在Register函数的末尾添加:

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

源。
