Your classes are pretty close, it looks like you possibly tried to pretty things up a bit such as changing codes to Codes but in so doing the properties no longer match. You can change class names but not property names (at least not that way): Public Class CodeLinkContainer <JsonProperty(“codes”)> Public Property Codes As IList(Of … Read more
Since this is a known behavior of Json.NET, as noted by this answer, a custom JsonConverter can be used when deserializing a stack that pushes items on in the correct order. The following universal converter can be used with Stack<T> for any T: /// <summary> /// Converter for any Stack<T> that prevents Json.NET from reversing … Read more
Assuming you are working with Json.NET 9.0.1 or later, this can be done with a custom NamingStrategy. For instance, here’s one based on SnakeCaseNamingStrategy and StringUtils.ToSnakeCase() by James Newton-King: public class CustomNamingStrategy : NamingStrategy { public CustomNamingStrategy(bool processDictionaryKeys, bool overrideSpecifiedNames) { ProcessDictionaryKeys = processDictionaryKeys; OverrideSpecifiedNames = overrideSpecifiedNames; } public CustomNamingStrategy(bool processDictionaryKeys, bool overrideSpecifiedNames, bool processExtensionDataNames) … Read more
Json.NET’s JSONPath parser allows the filter (script) expression [?( )] to query for nested properties inside child objects of the candidate array item(s). Thus var test = json.SelectTokens(@”$.projects[?(@.client.code == ‘DEF’)].client”); returns, as desired, [ { “code”: “DEF”, “name”: “Client 2” } ] Working .Net fiddle. Upon experimentation it seems none of the JSONPath implementations at … Read more
If you serialize your class with TypeNameHandling.All or TypeNameHandling.Auto, then when the UntypedProperty property would be serialized as a JSON container (either an object or array) Json.NET should correctly serialize and deserialize it by storing type information in the JSON file in a “$type” property. However, in cases where UntypedProperty is serialized as a JSON … Read more
You can do this with a JsonConverter. A simple converter for this purpose would be: public class PersonConverter : JsonConverter { public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType) { return objectType == typeof(Person); } public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer) { if (reader.TokenType == JsonToken.Null) return null; var array = JArray.Load(reader); var … Read more
When Json.NET invokes a parameterized constructor, it matches JSON properties to constructor arguments by name, using an ordinal case-ignoring match. However, for JSON properties that also correspond to type members, which name does it use – the member name, or the override type member name specified by JsonPropertyAttribute.PropertyName? It appears you are hoping it matches … Read more
Json.Net normally uses $id along with $ref as metadata to preserve object references in JSON. So when it sees $id it assumes that property is not part of the actual JSON property set, but an internal identifier. Thus it does not populate the Id property on your object, even though you included a [JsonProperty] attribute … Read more
To enable output of $type information at the root level for a polymorphic object with TypeNameHandling.Auto, use the following overload: JsonConvert.SerializeObject Method (Object, Type, JsonSerializerSettings). From the docs: public static string SerializeObject( Object value, Type type, JsonSerializerSettings settings ) type Type: System.Type The type of the value being serialized. This parameter is used when TypeNameHandling … Read more
I think the problem you’re having is that your JSON is a list of objects when it comes in and it doesnt directly relate to your root class. var content would look something like this (i assume): [ { “id”: 3636, “is_default”: true, “name”: “Unit”, “quantity”: 1, “stock”: “100000.00”, “unit_cost”: “0” }, { “id”: 4592, … Read more
