Suppress properties with null value on ASP.NET Web API
I've created an ASP.Net WEB API Project that will be used by a mobile application. I need the response json to omit null properties instead of return them as property: null
.
How can I do this?
In the WebApiConfig
:
config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings =
new JsonSerializerSettings {NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore};
Or, if you want more control, you can replace entire formatter:
var jsonformatter = new JsonMediaTypeFormatter
{
SerializerSettings =
{
NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore
}
};
config.Formatters.RemoveAt(0);
config.Formatters.Insert(0, jsonformatter);
I ended up with this piece of code in the startup.cs file using ASP.NET5 1.0.0-beta7
services.AddMvc().AddJsonOptions(options =>
{
options.SerializerSettings.NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore;
});
