First of all, there’s no such thing as a JSON object. What you’ve got in your question is a JavaScript object literal (see here for a great discussion on the difference). Here’s how you would go about serializing what you’ve got to JSON though:
I would use an anonymous type filled with your results
type:
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new
{
results = new List<Result>()
{
new Result { id = 1, value = "ABC", info = "ABC" },
new Result { id = 2, value = "JKL", info = "JKL" }
}
});
Also, note that the generated JSON has result items with id
s of type Number
instead of strings. I doubt this will be a problem, but it would be easy enough to change the type of id
to string
in the C#.
I’d also tweak your results
type and get rid of the backing fields:
public class Result
{
public int id { get ;set; }
public string value { get; set; }
public string info { get; set; }
}
Furthermore, classes conventionally are PascalCased
and not camelCased
.
Here’s the generated JSON from the code above:
{
"results": [
{
"id": 1,
"value": "ABC",
"info": "ABC"
},
{
"id": 2,
"value": "JKL",
"info": "JKL"
}
]
}
