EF关于报错Self referencing loop detected with type的原因以及解决办法

1）具体报错

{
    "Message": "出现错误。",
    "ExceptionMessage": "“ObjectContent`1”类型未能序列化内容类型“application/json; charset=utf-8”的响应正文。",
    "ExceptionType": "System.InvalidOperationException",
    "StackTrace": null,
    "InnerException": {
        "Message": "出现错误。",

        "ExceptionType": "Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException",

    }
}

2）分析可能原因

1）web api影响了返回序列化的问题？

2）返回json重复调用问题？

3）确定具体原因

结论：是web api自带的return Json把模型间的导航属性也算进去了。（A是B的导航属性，B也是A的导航属性，所以会无限循环，导致Json会生成无数层）

4）解决

1）修改泛型的返回值

2）删掉外键关联（不建议）
