The JSON I would like returned looks something like:

{
tuples: [
[[north,1.8,2.5],[south,1.3,-1.4],[east,1.1,0]],
[[north,1.9,2.4],[west,10.34,4.76]]
]
}

If I used a class that contains a List(Of List(Of String)) or a multi-String array, to be returned by WCF the output always looks like:

{
tuples: [
[0: north,1.8,2.5, 1: south,1.3,-1.4, 2: east,1.1,0],
[0: north,1.9,2.4, 1: west,10.34,4.76]
]
}

The JSON translation adds the step of the list/array into the JSON string.

Any ideas on how to produce the appropriate JSON output with WCF and VB? ]]> Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) moraleslos http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/windows-communication-foundation-wcf/57044-reproduce-particular-json-format.html
