The TestController-example on the home page does work. When you call
http://localhost:8080/api/test you get an error:

Calling UseJsonOnly before Configure fixes this for me:

var server = webapi.
	UseJsonOnly().
	Configure(typeof(TestController)).
	Start("http://localhost:8080");

In a real situation you will add your own formatters and the problem won't occur.
