My ServiceStack API is returning the following XML:
<UserResult>
<Email>[email protected]</Email>
<Forenames>Daniel</Forenames>
<Href>/users/00000001-0000-0000-0000-00000000000d</Href>
<Memberships>
<Href>/users/00000001-0000-0000-0000-00000000000d/memberships</Href>
</Memberships>
<Surname>Dare</Surname>
<UserGuid>00000001-0000-0000-0000-00000000000d</UserGuid>
<Username>test_dan</Username>
</UserResult>
I'm curious as to whether I can modify the XML serialization so it returns the HREF properties as attributes rather than elements:
<UserResult href="/users/00000001-0000-0000-0000-00000000000d">
...
<Memberships href="/users/00000001-0000-0000-0000-00000000000d/memberships" />
...
</UserResult>
or even override the default serialization entirely so that particular properties are exposed as <link />
elements:
<UserResult href="/users/00000001-0000-0000-0000-00000000000d">
...
<link rel="memberships" href="/users/00000001-0000-0000-0000-00000000000d/memberships" />
...
</UserResult>
I'm undecided as to whether I should do this, but very curious to know whether it's possible - either by decorating the properties or by replacing the default XML serializer (DataContractSerializer?) used by ServiceStack.
