Deserialize json with json.net c#
- by 76mel
Hi, am new to Json so a little green.
I have a Rest Based Service that returns a json string;
{"treeNode":[{"id":"U-2905","pid":"R","userId":"2905"},
{"id":"U-2905","pid":"R","userId":"2905"}]}
I have been playing with the Json.net and trying to Deserialize the string into Objects etc.
I wrote an extention method to help.
public static T DeserializeFromJSON<T>(this Stream jsonStream, Type objectType)
{
T result;
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(jsonStream))
{
JsonSerializer serializer = new JsonSerializer();
try
{
result = (T)serializer.Deserialize(reader, objectType);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw;
}
}
return result;
}
I was expecting an array of treeNode[] objects. But its seems that I can only deserialize correctly if treeNode[] property of another object.
public class treeNode
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string pid { get; set; }
public string userId { get; set; }
}
I there a way to to just get an straight array from the deserialization ?
Cheers
