    ApiController Return Json

    Extending Umbraco

    Hi Guys,

    I've got a simple api controller like so:

    public class MailingListApiController : UmbracoApiController

    {

    public string GetAllRecipients()

    {

    return Json.Encode(new string[] { "Table", "Chair", "Desk", "Computer", "Beer fridge" });

    }

    }

     

     

     

    in my app_start folder I have webapiconfig.cs:

    public static class WebApiConfig

    {

    public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)

    {

    config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(

    name: "DefaultApi",

    routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",

    defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }

    );

     

    var appXmlType = config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.FirstOrDefault(t => t.MediaType == "application/xml");

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

    }

    }

     

     

    which removes the XML formatter

     

    i have checked that it is called in global.asax

     

    But my controller is still returning xml.. just wondering if anyone could suggest how to get this working..

    Cheers

    Hi,

     

    try this:

     

    public HttpResponseMessage ControlleName()

    {

    string json = "some content";

    return new HttpResponseMessage() { Content = new StringContent(json, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "application/json") };

    }
