Response wrapper in Asp.net Core Web Api

Question

I have built a response wrapper as per alltej's answer shown in the below link:

How can I wrap Web API responses(in .net core) for consistency?

When a try to read the content of the response after the api call I get the following. The sample json is value in parameters.

response = await _apiClient.GetAsync("search/getParameter");
parameters = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

{"Version":"1.0","StatusCode":404,"ErrorMessage":"Request not found. The specified uri does not exist","Result":null}

How can I make response.Content point to the "Result" in the JSON.

Am I missing something here?

You can try using AutoWrapper for Http response consistency, and use AutoWrapper.Server to unwrap the Result property at the server.

is autowrapper compitable with xml output? I cant make it work if I want xml output

No. AutoWrapper does not support XML at the moment. Please submit a feature request so we can add support for it in the future versions.

By default, an ASP.NET Core app doesn't provide a status code page for HTTP status codes, such as 404 - Not Found. The app returns a status code and an empty response body.

You can customize that in your middleware like :

var readToEnd = new StreamReader(memoryStream).ReadToEnd();

if (context.Response.StatusCode == StatusCodes.Status404NotFound)
{
    readToEnd += "{ \"result\":\"Not Found\" }";
}
