How to set custom JsonSerializerSettings for Json.NET in ASP.NET Web API?

by

You can customize the JsonSerializerSettings by using the Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings property in the HttpConfiguration object.

For example, you could do that in the Application_Start() method:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    HttpConfiguration config = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration;
    config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.Formatting =
        Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.Indented;
}
