Returning JSON from C# Webservice WITHOUT the XML Tags

Using this article as a basis, how does one omit the XML tags?

http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/8ef97c/web-service-in-Asp-Net-part-4/

First off, the article was well done; short, concise, clear, and simple.

Regarding my question, I've seen it asked many places, but no one seems to really have the answer. Though some are very impressive in their convolution.

This bit of code gets me really close:

HttpContext Context = HttpContext.Current;

Context.Response.ContentType = "application/json";
Context.Response.Write(list); // list here is a valid JSON object

Ideally, it seems I should be able to call the service via browser, and not get an error stating there was an XML parse record. However, I DO get that error.

Thanks

You can call the service via Ajax or other mechanism and get the data. First you need to decide in what format you would like to get. If it's JSON data, You cannot parse the same using XML Parse. When you say omit the XML tags meaning you are trying to get the data as XML. But you code says something different, it returns the data in JSON format.
