[c#] How to set custom JsonSerializerSettings for Json.NET in ASP.NET Web API?

You can specify JsonSerializerSettings for each JsonConvert, and you can set a global default.

Single JsonConvert with an overload:

// Option #1.
JsonSerializerSettings config = new JsonSerializerSettings { ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore };
this.json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(YourObject, Formatting.Indented, config);

// Option #2 (inline).
JsonConvert.SerializeObject(YourObject, Formatting.Indented,
    new JsonSerializerSettings() {
        ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore
    }
);

Global Setting with code in Application_Start() in Global.asax.cs:

JsonConvert.DefaultSettings = () => new JsonSerializerSettings {
     Formatting = Newtonsoft.Json.Formatting.Indented,
     ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore
};
