I am developing a very simply WebAPI in .Net 4.6. WebAPI, by default use JSON.Net as JSON serializer. For this application, I am willing to set default JSON serializer to NewtonSoft JSON.

Please help me how I can do this.

Answer 1

var formatter = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter;
    formatter.SerializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings
    {
        Formatting = Formatting.Indented,
        TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.Objects,
        ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver()
    };

Would be placed in your global.asax
