Problem:
I am using Entity Framework and having a problem with getting parent and child data that causes self-referencing loop. How to stop self-referencing loop in .Net Core Web API?
Solution:
If you are using ASP.NET Core, you can configure Json.NET to ignore cycles that it finds in the object graph. This is done in the ConfigureServices(...) method in Startup.cs.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
....
services.AddMvc()
.AddJsonOptions(
options => options.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore
)
.SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);
}
