Confusion over maxJsonLength default value

Question

I\'m hoping to get some clarification on the maxJsonLength property. Here is some background information.

I was having an issue with an AJAX response not being returned

Answer 1

Creating a page on a website with the following in the code behind:

JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();

Response.Write("Max Length: " + serializer.MaxJsonLength);

Led to an output of:

Max Length: 2097152

So I would go with the value defined in the docs rather than the How to.

Note however that this is Characters, and not bytes explicitly:

The default is 2097152 characters, which is equivalent to 4 MB of Unicode string data
