当User-Agent头包含“Chrome”时，我使用全局动作过滤器删除Accept: application/xml:

internal class RemoveXmlForGoogleChromeFilter : IActionFilter
{
    public bool AllowMultiple
    {
        get { return false; }
    }

    public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> ExecuteActionFilterAsync(
        HttpActionContext actionContext,
        CancellationToken cancellationToken,
        Func<Task<HttpResponseMessage>> continuation)
    {
        var userAgent = actionContext.Request.Headers.UserAgent.ToString();
        if (userAgent.Contains("Chrome"))
        {
            var acceptHeaders = actionContext.Request.Headers.Accept;
            var header =
                acceptHeaders.SingleOrDefault(
                    x => x.MediaType.Contains("application/xml"));
            acceptHeaders.Remove(header);
        }

        return await continuation();
    }
}

似乎有用。

从这个问题被问到(和回答)已经过去了一段时间，但是另一个选择是在请求处理过程中使用MessageHandler覆盖服务器上的Accept头，如下所示:

public class ForceableContentTypeDelegationHandler : DelegatingHandler
{
    protected async override Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(
                HttpRequestMessage request,
                CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        var someOtherCondition = false;
        var accHeader = request.Headers.GetValues("Accept").FirstOrDefault();
        if (someOtherCondition && accHeader.Contains("application/xml"))
        {
            request.Headers.Remove("Accept");
            request.Headers.Add("Accept", "application/json");
        }
        return await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
    }
}

其中someOtherCondition可以是任何东西，包括浏览器类型等。这将用于有条件的情况，即有时我们只想覆盖默认的内容协商。否则，根据其他答案，您只需从配置中删除一个不必要的格式化程序。

当然你需要注册。你可以全局执行:

  public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config) {
      config.MessageHandlers.Add(new ForceableContentTypeDelegationHandler());
  }

或按路线划分:

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
   name: "SpecialContentRoute",
   routeTemplate: "api/someUrlThatNeedsSpecialTreatment/{id}",
   defaults: new { controller = "SpecialTreatment" id = RouteParameter.Optional },
   constraints: null,
   handler: new ForceableContentTypeDelegationHandler()
);

由于这是一个消息处理程序，它将运行在管道的请求端和响应端，就像HttpModule一样。所以你可以很容易地用一个自定义头来确认覆盖:

public class ForceableContentTypeDelegationHandler : DelegatingHandler
{
    protected async override Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(
                HttpRequestMessage request,
                CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        var wasForced = false;
        var someOtherCondition = false;
        var accHeader = request.Headers.GetValues("Accept").FirstOrDefault();
        if (someOtherCondition && accHeader.Contains("application/xml"))
        {
            request.Headers.Remove("Accept");
            request.Headers.Add("Accept", "application/json");
            wasForced = true;
        }

        var response =  await base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
        if (wasForced){
          response.Headers.Add("X-ForcedContent", "We overrode your content prefs, sorry");
        }
        return response;
    }
}

config.Formatters.Remove(config.Formatters.XmlFormatter);

使用RequestHeaderMapping工作得更好，因为它还在响应头中设置Content-Type = application/json，这允许Firefox(带有JSONView插件)将响应格式化为json。

GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter.MediaTypeMappings
.Add(new System.Net.Http.Formatting.RequestHeaderMapping("Accept", 
                              "text/html",
                              StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase,
                              true, 
                              "application/json"));

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}"
       );
    }

上面的大多数答案都很有道理。 由于您看到的数据是以XML格式格式化的，这意味着应用了XML格式化器，因此您可以通过从HttpConfiguration参数中删除XMLFormatter来查看JSON格式

public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {
            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",
                routeTemplate: "{controller}/{id}",
                defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
            );                
            config.Formatters.Remove(config.Formatters.XmlFormatter);                
            config.EnableSystemDiagnosticsTracing();
        }

因为JSON是默认格式
