What is the 'd2p1' on the xml response

[Rui Marques]

Hi,

Why do we have this?

<d2p1:Customer>

Where does 'd2p1' came from?


Thanks in advance,

Rui (ruionwriting)

This is automatically genrated by the .NET's XML DataContractSerializer for Generic built-in types.

Note: ServiceStack doesn't actually do anything with the XML output, its comes straight from the DataContractSerializer mouth :)

To get around it (and get prettier XML output), unfortunately you need to use annotated collection classes, which you can see examples of here:

CollectionTypes.cs was moved to here:
