This is also not a problem when using ServiceStack, i.e. every result you return get's automatically converted in the Response ContentType you want, i.e. this is the full code of a simple web service that can be called via all HTTP VERBS (GET,POST,PUT,DELETE) on all the supported formats (no config required), i.e. JSON, XML, HTML, JSV, CSV, SOAP even by a direct HTML Form x-www-form-urlencoded or QueryString request:

public class Hello {
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

public class HelloResponse {
    public string Result { get; set; }
}

public class HelloService : IService {
    public object Execute(Hello request)
    {
        return new HelloResponse { Result = "Hello, " + request.Name };
    }
}

You can override the response you get with the Accept:application/json HTTP Header or simply adding the ?format=json on the QueryString.

See the ServiceStack's Hello World Example to see a live example the above web services.
