Yep, half-way sounds about right. By default ASP.NET doesn't allow you to GET json, have to override that.

Also the routing is not RESTful at all and doesn't handle nesting very well, so you have to find a 3rd party routing library or role your own.

The reason it doesn't allow you to do JSON GET requests is because of the possibility of hijacking. http://haacked.com/archive/2009/06/24/json-hijacking.aspx Not allowing this by default is a good thing. It will make developers look up the reason it's not working, and hopefully not return an array from the get request. They could have done a runtime exception only if an array was returned, but that's a matter of opinion.
