When requesting an object for example using REST, is it possible to get the response in json and xml format or do I have to create UriTemplates that are something like:

[WebInvoke(UriTemplate="&format=json?user/{id}", ResponseFormat=WebMessageFormat.Json)]

[WebInvoke(UriTemplate="&format=xml?user/{id}", ResponseFormat=WebMessageFormat.Xml)]

The reason I ask is because I may need one format returned for an app on an android phone for example and another type returned for an app on a laptop.

Also, Can the methods have the same name such as Register or do I have to have one called:

RegisterJSON(User user) and another called RegisterXML(User user)
