Json Serialization - Ingore property if it's circular reference

Add into DotVVM Framework an extension, attribute (or anything else) which forces the use of Newtonsoft.Json.PreserveReferencesHandling setting. Specifies reference handling options for the JsonSerializer. https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/PreserveReferencesHandlingObject.htm

What about attribute?

[ThisViewModelPreserveReferenceWithSetting( enum Newtonsoft.Json.PreserveReferencesHandling )]
public class DefaultViewModel
{
    public ObjectWithCircularReferences MyObject { get; set; }
...

public class DefaultViewModel
{
    [ThisPropertyPreserveReferenceWithSetting( enum Newtonsoft.Json.PreserveReferencesHandling )]
    public ObjectWithCircularReferences MyObject { get; set; }
...

Thank you.

If you don 't want, no one will change it. 😃 But it is possible to implement sending data with circular reference to the client. The Data is serializable.

I think it would be fine to have an attribute, that would instruct the serializer to ignore this property it’s a backreference - it would basically behave like [Bind(None)] but iff the object is already present in its ancestors.
