Question

I send json objects to DotNet Service in format

{"__type":"EntityItem#ru.test.com","name":"sample"}

And on Net service i got object EntityItem and all good.

But if __type will not first in list properties then it’s get error parsing object. Next version JSON crashes

{"name":"sample","__type":"EntityItem#ru.test.com"}

Does exists solution how to fix it?

It’s called “type hints”. Here is link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb412170.aspx
and qoute

Note that the type hint must appear first in the JSON representation. This is the only case where order of key/value pairs is important in JSON processing.

It’s so sad.
