This could be the most basic json question ever. I’m creating a WCF REST service and have a HelloWorld test function that just returns a string. I’m testing the service in fiddler and the reponse body I’m getting back is:
"HelloWorld"
I also created a function that would just return a number (double) and the response body is:
1.0
Are those valid json responses? Are simple return types just returned in plain text like that (no markup with the brackets)?
Valid JSON responses start with either a
{for an object or[for a list of objects.Native types are not valid JSON if not encapsulated. Try JSONlint to check validity.
