如果你在WebApiConfig中这样做，默认情况下你会得到JSON，但是如果你传递text/ XML作为请求Accept头，它仍然允许你返回XML。

注意:这删除了对application/xml的支持

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);
    }
}

如果你不使用MVC项目类型，因此没有这个类开始，请参阅这个答案关于如何合并它的详细信息。

当User-Agent头包含“Chrome”时，我使用全局动作过滤器删除Accept: application/xml:

internal class RemoveXmlForGoogleChromeFilter : IActionFilter
{
    public bool AllowMultiple
    {
        get { return false; }
    }

    public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> ExecuteActionFilterAsync(
        HttpActionContext actionContext,
        CancellationToken cancellationToken,
        Func<Task<HttpResponseMessage>> continuation)
    {
        var userAgent = actionContext.Request.Headers.UserAgent.ToString();
        if (userAgent.Contains("Chrome"))
        {
            var acceptHeaders = actionContext.Request.Headers.Accept;
            var header =
                acceptHeaders.SingleOrDefault(
                    x => x.MediaType.Contains("application/xml"));
            acceptHeaders.Remove(header);
        }

        return await continuation();
    }
}

在最新版本的ASP.net WebApi 2中，在WebApiConfig.cs下，这将工作:

config.Formatters.Remove(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter);
config.Formatters.Add(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter);

I like Felipe Leusin's approach best - make sure browsers get JSON without compromising content negotiation from clients that actually want XML. The only missing piece for me was that the response headers still contained content-type: text/html. Why was that a problem? Because I use the JSON Formatter Chrome extension, which inspects content-type, and I don't get the pretty formatting I'm used to. I fixed that with a simple custom formatter that accepts text/html requests and returns application/json responses:

public class BrowserJsonFormatter : JsonMediaTypeFormatter
{
    public BrowserJsonFormatter() {
        this.SupportedMediaTypes.Add(new MediaTypeHeaderValue("text/html"));
        this.SerializerSettings.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
    }

    public override void SetDefaultContentHeaders(Type type, HttpContentHeaders headers, MediaTypeHeaderValue mediaType) {
        base.SetDefaultContentHeaders(type, headers, mediaType);
        headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
    }
}

像这样注册:

config.Formatters.Add(new BrowserJsonFormatter());

我发现Chrome应用“高级REST客户端”非常适合使用REST服务。你可以将Content-Type设置为application/json。 高级REST客户端
