title: Strongly typed object vs Plain XML as response from rest API service ? Which one is best
body: <p>We are about to start a service project which will supply data about our domain objects to different clients. We will have clients ranging from ASP.NET web forms/MVC, Classic ASP,PHP and Android App ( Java as backend code)</p>
  
  <p>We are doing some kind of research to finalise which development strategy to use for. We have exeprience writing WCF Services. Is WCF Rest supported architechure ? I read that Rest Architecture returns data as Plain XML/Json . Not strongly typed objects. While writing the previous WCF service and when i consumed it in the Client apps, i really enjoyed the response being strongly typed objects. I guess it is not possible with REST.</p>
  
  <p>I am looking into ASP.NET Web API ( WCF now become this). But this is still in beta and my team is not ready to use something still in beta.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best appproach i should use  ? WCF Service returning stronlgy typed objects or XML ? What are the advantages &amp; Disadvantages of both ? </p>
