You can define your own media formatter to customise your response for

In the end I sort of did that. It's best not to fight the system, so I
changed the method so that it simply returns a serialized object (a rather

Folks, in Web API when you sent an object back in the response it's
automatically serialized as JSON or XML depending upon the Accept header.
This is great, but I have to cheat the system slightly and send back
manually tweaked XML only if the XML serializer is "active". Rather than
look at the raw
