WCF Restful Web Service returns JSON

Question

I read in WCF and was looking for a good tutorial on creating a WCF Restful service that returns Json. It seems I can’t find what is really worth reading, does anyone have someone they recommend for those who just want to start with the basics and learn about WCF Restful? I'm not sure if I should start with WCF 3.5 or WCF 4. I am using Visual Studio 2010, so I could do one or both.

Answer 1

WCF4 already has nice built-in templates for JSON, while in WCF 3.5 it is a bit complicated, and you need to manually add support for this.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

I honestly used MSDN and thought it was very important. Its what I used to pick up to sniff and build my rest service WCF, but I guess you already looked there. This was my favorite link, which I still celebrate to this day.

Regarding your 4.0 vs 3.5. I almost always rely on later technologies if you can, especially WCF, simply because Microsoft has simplified things a bit, like Leon said.

Answer 3

There is a video for beginners and is certainly very useful.

You can learn how to create services in minutes.

There is a video that shows how to set up json service to relax.

I had exactly the same problem last year.

In the end, I developed the steps that you must follow to create the JSON WCF web service — it's simple if you follow each of the steps correctly, but finding the easy-to-use step-by-step instruction was difficult.

Here's the walkthrough that I created, clearly documenting what you need to do:

I follow this walkthrough when creating services for both ASP.Net applications and iOS applications.

Good luck
