Is it recommended to return json data from a web api method ?
This I am using for jqgrid.
I am using WebApi for all other operations like Get, Update, Delete etc…
Thanks

WebApi supports Content Negotation. This means that it will give you what you ask for. WebApi will inspect the header of your request and will then return the data in the correct format.
In case of an AJAX application using jqGrid, you will probably ask for JSON. That’s the easiest format to use in JavaScript.
If someone else would call your WebApi method and ask for Xml, your method would return Xml to the caller.
