json.net - how to remove $id during JSON serialization

Question

I am using NewtonSoft.JSON. When running

JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject)

it is adding an $id value to my JSON - like this:

  "$id": "1",
  "BookingId": 0,
  "CompanyId": 0,
  "IsCashBooking": false,
  "PaymentMethod": 0,
  "IsReferral": false,
  "IsReferralPercent": false,
  "ReferralPaymentType": 0,
  "ReferralDues": 0,
  "PassengerId": 0,
  "DepartmentID": 0,
  "CostCenterID": 0,
  "DeadMiles": 0

Can we remove this $id with some JsonSerializerSettings or by any other method?

If yes - then how...

Answer 1

I added this code to my WebApiConfig register method and I got rid of all $id in JSON.

var json = config.Formatters.JsonFormatter;
json.SerializerSettings.PreserveReferencesHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.PreserveReferencesHandling.None;
