SerializeObject adds unicode c#

I have a WCF service that returns database tables in JSON format. SeralizeObject adds unicode to my httpresponse, how can i remove this?

Code:

using (var db = new newTestDBContext())
        {
          var query = from b in db.Roads
                       orderby b.roadID
                     select b;
          Road rr = query.First();
          var serializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings { PreserveReferencesHandling = PreserveReferencesHandling.Objects };
          return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(rr, Formatting.Indented, serializerSettings);

Reponse:

"{\u000d\u000a  \"$id\": \"1\",\u000d\u000a  \"roadparts\": [\u000d\u000a    {\u000d\u000a      \"$id\": \"2\",\u000d\u000a      \"Road\": {\u000d\u000a

Remove the Formatting.Indented in your json call. That should fix it.

ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json

That will JSON encode the return value of the annotated method. If the return value is already a JSON string, then you are JSON encoding twice.. first the Road object and then the JSON string resulting from the former.

So just return the Road object and let the WebMessageFormat.json handle the json encoding.
