WCF doesn't use JavascriptSerializer. It uses DataContractJsonSerializer. And yes, you can replace it with Json.NET by writing a custom message formatter as exemplified in the following blog post.

because DataContractJsonSerializer is much slower than Json.NET.

Is this a question that you are asking? Is there something else you would like to ask?

ok, the question is going further now. According to this article - code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsdesktop/…, I have made a custom DispatchFormatter, but how to register it to the wcf service application via web.config?

You could write a custom IServiceBehavior to apply the message formatter globally to the service.
