I quite like the format Doug Mayer suggested, I’ve seen this in Rails. You can use pretty URLs like:

Product/List.htm
Product/List.json
Product/List.xml
Product/List.yml

I would simply create:

public class ServiceFilterAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public override void OnActionExecuting(FilterExecutingContext filterContext)
{ //serialization staff goes here }
}

and assign that class to a Controller’s method which handles requests to all service urls.

What about creating a route like:

[controller]/[action]/[id].[format]

You may need to create another one with just controller/action/format, but then you’d be able to do something more RoR-like and request it with an extension, assuming .NET supports that.

Product/List.xml => controller=Product, action=List, format=xml
