/base not working wit array
Hi,

I have a method that return an Array of Document in my RestExtension and it's not working, anyone have an idea?
```
[RestExtensionMethod]
        public static Document[] HeadChildren()
        {
            var d = new Document(NodeId);
            return Document.GetChildrenForTree(NodeId);
        }
```
The result is : <value>umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web.Document[]</value>

I think it's a problem with the serialization of an array.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Vincent,

Not sure if that would make a difference, but have you tried setting returnXml=false on the RestExtensionMethod attribute. If that doesn't work, I'd look into returning a string as the result of the function call (for example, return a json representation of your document array, which you can easily consume from jquery)

Cheers,

/Dirk

I already try that, I decided to go with JSON and I don't have any problem now, thanks!

[RestExtensionMethod(returnXml = false)]

public static string BuildMainMenu()

{

return BuildMenu("showInMainMenu");

}

private static string BuildMenu(string property)

{

var headNode = new Document(NodeId);

var menuElems = new List<SerializableUmbracoMenuElem>();

var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();

if (headNode.getProperty(property).Value.ToString() == "1")

{

menuElems.Add(FillUmbracoData(headNode));

}

foreach (var topMenuNode in headNode.Children)

{

if (topMenuNode.getProperty(property).Value.ToString() == "1")

{

menuElems.Add(FillUmbracoData(topMenuNode));

}

}

return serializer.Serialize(menuElems);

}
