How do I get ASP.NET Web API to return JSON instead of XML using Chrome?

Answer 1

Using Felipe Leusin's answer for years, after a recent update of core libraries and of Json.Net, I ran into a System.MissingMethodException:SupportedMediaTypes. The solution in my case, hopefully helpful to others experiencing the same unexpected exception, is to install System.Net.Http. NuGet apparently removes it in some circumstances. After a manual installation, the issue was resolved.
