Set Response Type of api via Attribute

I have Web API which is set to return data in JSON format. I am including attribute [ResponseType(typeof(Class_Name))] for each Action method so that api documentation (swagger) will show sample response format for each api.



Due to some reason, I want to return XML response for one of the api. Since I have set JSON as the default response type, the attribute [ResponseType(typeof(Class_Name))] for that particular api is showing response in JSON format.



Is there any way, I can show XML response for that single api? Is it possible to achieve the same by settings any attributes or some quick hacks?

  • Isn't so that if request will have header Accept: text/html response will be automatically serialized in xml? Unless, of course, you explicitly removed xml serialization.
