title: How to set custom JsonSerializerSettings for Json.NET in ASP.NET Web API?
body: <p>I understand that ASP.NET Web API natively uses Json.NET for (de)serializing objects, but is there a way to specify a <code>JsonSerializerSettings</code> object that you want for it to use? </p>
  
  <p>For example, what if I wanted to include <code>type</code> information into the serialized JSON string? Normally I'd inject settings into the <code>.Serialize()</code> call, but Web API does that silently. I can't find a way to inject settings manually.</p>
