--------------------------------------------
[~rareddy] sorry for the late reply, unfortunately I also could not find any
definitive text in the spec, regarding the verbose navigation links, but while
I am checking some of the samples in Northwind Service [1], I found that even
though the underling entity/entity collection is empty, there navigation links
are appeared in entity payload (I know we cannot prove our point here). So I
think it would be better if we could make both of the serializer’s work as the
same way. In that case I am voting for the jsonserializer correction.
See: [1]
http://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers?$format=application/json;odata.metadata=full
> Navigation Links not explicitly added to entity are not shown in JSON
> "metadata=full" response

> Navigation links not added to entity explicitly are not serialized in the
> json response when client request "odata.metadata=full".
> In ODataXmlSerializer even if navigation links are not explicitly added to
> the entity, they are serialized to response. Hence, one would expect similar
> behavior with ODataJsonSerializer as well.
