Deleting ExtensionData From JavaScript

WCF DataContracts include an ExtensionData property which is a bit troublesome if you are trying to send a modified object back up to the service if it has no properties in Javascript.


So I wrote a little piece of Javascript to clean it up:



It will recusively delete all ExtensionData properties from the object.  You can call as soon as you get the result from a completed AJAX request or you can call before sending an object parameter to a service.


Note that it uses constructs from prototype.


If you want to get fancy, you can also write a custom serializer.
