.net - replace WCF built-in JavascriptSerializer with Newtonsoft Json.Net json serializer

Question

Is there any way to replace the WCF service application built-in JavascriptSerializer with Newtonsoft Json.Net json serializer?

Answer 1

WCF doesn't use JavascriptSerializer. It uses DataContractJsonSerializer. And yes, you can replace it with Json.NET by writing a custom message formatter as exemplified in the following blog post.
