Yep..You can find the docs here : http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/WebApi/

Thanks dawoe,  But my question is the output have unnecessary element.  I want to pure string.

What do you mean with unnecessary element ?

I figure out now.. no unnecessary element.

The browser behavior seems a little bit difference.

Chrome:

<string xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">{"boolean": true,"string": "Hello World"}</string>

Firefox : 

<string>{"boolean": true,"string": "Hello World"}</string>

IE & jQuery method get result is good.

{"boolean": true,"string": "Hello World"}

Very thanks.

Try to add the right Content-Type request-header with a value of "application/json".

the easy way.

        [HttpGet]

        public HttpResponseMessage GetJson()

        {

            HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/json";

            HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("{\"status\":\"OK\"}");

            return new HttpResponseMessage();

        }

Hey gwweee,

I'm trying to do the same thing with but to render a list of children under a specific node which will show only a single property value in the JSON.
