Custom serialization converters for WCF service

Question

We are currently using the .asmx web service method, which serializes our object in Json to be returned to the client and is consumed by MS Ajax code. For some members of the object, we use custom converters through classes that are derived from the JavaScriptConverter and override the Serialize method. We "plug" these custom converters in our web.config through the elements:

<system.web.extensions>
  <scripting>
    <webServices>
      <jsonSerialization maxJsonLength="2000000">
        <converters>
          <add name="ElementReference" type="OurNamespace.OurJavascriptConverter">

Now we go to the WCF web service. I can not find the equivalent of WCF.

Thanks for any help.

AFAIK, the most likely alternative (for custom serialization) would be to implement IXmlSerializableand do everything yourself - not fun.
