ASP.Net Core Vendor Specific Mime Type in HTTP POST

Question

In order to make the model binder correctly bind the body part of an HTTP request in ASP.Net Core you need to use the [FromBody] attribute.

public JsonResult PostContent([FromBody] Content content)
{
    ......
}

This works great if your media type is application/json. However, if you want to use a vendor specific (e.g. application/vnd+mycompany+json) media type in your Accept header then if I pass that in the HTTP POST I will get a 415 Unsupported Media Type.

So my question is how do you support vendor specific media types in ASP.Net Core?

Check custom formatters as mentioned in the docs. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/mvc/advanced/… — Nkosi

This is how I did it.

In Startup.cs

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddTransient<IApiInfoService, ApiInfoService>();
    services.AddTransient<IApiVersion, ApiVersion>();
    services.AddTransient<IContentService, ContentService>();
    services.AddTransient<IIdGenerator, GuidIdGenerator>();

    // Add framework services.
    services.AddMvc(
        mvcConfig => {
            mvcConfig.InputFormatters.OfType<JsonInputFormatter>().First().SupportedMediaTypes.Add(
                MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse(ContentTypes.VENDOR_MIME_TYPE)
            );
        }
    );
}
