I have a WebApi that returns a simple object, but when I'm forcing it to return as XML ( Accept: application/xml
) it ignores the [XmlAttribute]
attribute I've set on the object.
This is my object:
public class Foo
{
[XmlAttribute]
public string Bar { get; set; }
}
And I return it like this in the code:
[RoutePrefix("api/mytest")]
public class MyTestController : System.Web.Http.ApiController
{
[HttpGet]
[Route("gettest")]
public Foo GetTest()
{
return new Foo() { Bar = "foobar" };
}
}
The resulting XML is:
<Foo>
<Bar>foobar</Bar>
</Foo>
Whereas I would expect it to be returned like this:
<Foo Bar="foobar">
</Foo>
Why does the XmlSerializer used by WebApi ignore the [XmlAttribute]
attribute, and how can I make it work like I want to?
Try setting this global configuration value in your WebApi to true
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter.UseXmlSerializer = true;
By default Web API uses DataContractSerializer in XmlMediaTypeFormatter.
This worked for me... no need to change global configuration.
var configuration = new HttpConfiguration();
configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter.UseXmlSerializer = true;
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, myObjectToSerialize, configuration);
