mvc return Json() vs. JSON based Web Service
原标题:

I want to expose a service on my site that any users can call and get a JSON response. In the end, I want the users to be using this service as much as possible.

My site is created using the asp.net MVC framework and i was wondering whats the best way to do this...

I think most would say it s obvious to use a web service (*.asmx) that returns JSON format, but i know that I can just create a url that users can call and have it return JSON format as well (e.g: calling "http://mysite.com/GetList" would return JSON list). In asp.net, using the return Json() method.

What are the advantages/disadvantages doing it this way vs. a Web Service which is specifically intended for this ?

I don t know that most would say use a .asmx web service. Personally I haven t made a .asmx web service in a while and I would go for the MVC approach. The only things I d be worried about would be:

  1. future changes to the data, url, and/or parameters passed in.
  2. Making the controller too big or cluttered, in which case you could create a separate API controller.

To me the advantages are that it s more consistent with the rest of your app, it s simple and easy to work with, and there s not much to configure.

A web service would expose a WSDL.
