disable default validation in Asp.Net WebAPI

I want to completely disable model validation for WebAPI controllers. I tried a few ways to do it for MVC, but seems WebAPI doesn’t get that methods.

In my case:

1. custom formatter creates and populates object
2. default validation happens
3. Object passed to controller
4. My code start working

I’m trying to completely remove step 2.

Method 1

Try this:

config.Services.Clear(typeof(ModelValidatorProvider));

It should completely disable validation both for URI parameters and for body parameters.
