- ASP.NET MVC Core Web Application controller actions to control the Xml serialization type.
- Avoid the ObjectResult limitation to use only one type of MVC Xml serializer per ASP.NET MVC Core Web Application.
- Satisfy all possible Xml JAVA REST Web API and Xml .NET REST Web API communication scenarios.
An Action result which formats the given object as Xml.
- The XmlResult is the similar feature to JsonResult in the project "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Json".
- The property "XmlSerializerType" of the XmlResult defines which one of the MVC Xml formatters to use either XmlSerializer or DataContractSerializer.
- It allows to return Xml formatted response with using the HTTP Response Body.
Specifies an action parameter or property that should be bound with using the HTTP request Xml body.
- The FromBodyXmlAttribute is the similar attribute to FromBodyAttribute in the project "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc".
- The property "XmlSerializerType" of the FromBodyXmlAttribute defines which one of the MVC Xml formatters to use either XmlSerializer or DataContractSerializer.
