Title Body

I'd like to have JSON 'properly' serialized (camelCase), and the ability to change date formats if necessary. For Web API it is very easy - in the Global.asax I execute the following code var json = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter; json.SerializerSettings.ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver(); This code, at the pipeline level, handles serialization the way I'd like. I would like to accomplish the same thing in MVC 4 - have any JSON returned from controller action methods to be serialized properly. With a little searching I found the following code to throw in the Global.asax application startup: HttpConfiguration config = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration; Int32 index = config.Formatters.IndexOf(config.Formatters.JsonFormatter); config.Formatters[index] = new JsonMediaTypeFormatter { SerializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings { ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver() } }; It seems to execute fine but when I return JSON from a controller it is all PascalCased. A simple example of my action method: private JsonResult GetJsonTest() { var returnData = dataLayer.GetSomeObject(); return Json(returnData, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); } Am I going about this wrong? Any idea how to accomplish this at the pipeline level?
