str = Serialize(xml, value);

should be

str = Serialize(json, value);

@nachof: If you use the [DataContract] attribute, you can set the namespace for the type.

[DataContract(Namespace="mynamespace")]

Just want to make sure you aren't already exposing it through JsonMediaTypeFormatter somehow before I go and get it.

This topic *should* be up-to-date for the RC release, but it's possible I have some errors.

Cheers,

I would remove the "Headers" from this line though: formatter.WriteToStreamAsync(typeof(T), value, stream, content.Headers, null).Wait();

"To change how a member name appears in the XML, set the Name parameter in the DataMember attribute"

[DataMember(Name = "start", IsRequired = true)]

public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }

JSON passed to my service doesn't get mapped from start to StartDate.

This article helped me solve an empty 500 HttpStatusCode I was receiving from my Web API for no reason I could see. I landed on this from one of the comments on StackOverflow about circular references in the object graph (which I did have and which would be very common in Entity Framework generated model scenarios). I was pleasantly surprised to see that you are the writer of this article.

It has no Z suffix. This is the output I get: "2013-04-21T22:10:56.65".

To have ISO 8601 format you should use DateTimeOffset data type.

Maybe it would be a good idea to add this information to this article.
