So the idea was after [...]

force you to repeat the same code just for returning a different ActionResult?

For example, in a get user by id request, wouldn’t you have to repeat the same UserRepository.Get(id)
with all the additional null-checking and what-not in both controllers? (it could be doing a lot more work than that ofc)

On the other hand, I realize the ViewModel maybe somewhat different from the api model. Since I haven’t had any experience building a restful site before, I have no idea how you manage to stay
DRY given the above problem. Thanks for your answer in advance.

I like making everything lowercase on the wire, but that’s just personal preference.

Thanks, this is a great start! (I think the closer we can get to Rails’ notion of RESTful resources, the better.)

As part of .NET 3.5 SP1, can’t we serialize objects without using the Data* / Serializable attributes? http://www.pluralsight.com/community/blogs/aaron/archive/2008/05/13/50934.aspx

Is the case difference (name vs. Name) why you chose to make them explicit?
