I'm kind of new when it comes to api's and json serialization. I'm encountering a weird output. It seems that my json output is being truncated or wrongly formatted?
(I'm using a web api with .net core 2.0 and entity framework core 2.0 preview2)
The following error occurs in postman:
Expected ',' instead of ''
But when checking the raw data I see that not everything is being send:
{
"id": 2,
"username": "c8bee98",
"firstname": "Firstname73",
"lastname": "Lastname73",
"creationDate": "2017-07-02T23:47:16.204588",
"activityDate": "2017-07-03T14:02:58.6982234+02:00",
"profilePictureURL": "ProfilePictureURL73",
"gender": 2,
"location": "POINT(25.1400680863951
-25.0786780636193)",
"appsetting": null,
"email": "Email73",
"isHidden": false,
"isBanned": false,
"feedback": [{
"id": 19,
"rating": 1,
"feedbackType": 0,
"message": "Message1",
"creationDate": "2017-07-02T23:47:18.2287331",
"userId": 2
My controller looks like this:
UserManager userManager = new UserManager();
[HttpGet]
public async Task<User> GetById(int id)
{
try
{
return await userManager.GetByIdAsync(id);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
My model looks like this:

public int Id { get; set; }

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Username is required")]
[DisplayName("Username")]

return username;
}

Any suggestions?
EDIT:
My feedback collection has 2 items (2 feedbacks).
Only 1 is shown with all its properties.
Feedback Model:
public class Feedback
{
[DisplayName("Id")]
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "A rating is required")]
[DisplayName("Rating")]
public int Rating { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "A feedbacksection is required")]
[DisplayName("Section")]
public FeedbackType FeedbackType { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Message")]
//[DataType("nvarchar(500)")]
[StringLength(500, ErrorMessage = "That message is to long!")]
public string Message { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Creation date is required")]
[DisplayName("Creation Date")]
[DataType(DataType.Date)]
[Column(TypeName = "datetime2")]
[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:yyyy-MM-dd}")]
public DateTime CreationDate { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;
[Required]
[DisplayName("User")]
public int UserId { get; set; }
public User User { get; set; }
}
