Can you help me how to use System.Runtime.Serialization.Json (not Json.NET) to get information of each book in this tring to array:
{
"books":
[
{"name":"Book 1","orig":"Author 1","date":2009,"lang":"en"},
{"name":"Book 2","orig":"Author 2","date":2012,"lang":"fr"}
],
"src":"lib",
"id":212
}
Here's a quick sample I whipped up which appears to work:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;
class Test
{
static void Main()
{
using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead("test.json"))
{
var serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(Library));
Library library = (Library) serializer.ReadObject(stream);
Console.WriteLine(library.Books[0].Name);
}
}
}
[DataContract]
class Book
{
[DataMember(Name="name")] public string Name { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name="orig")] public string Orig { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name="date")] public string Date { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name="lang")] public string Lang { get; set; }
}
[DataContract]
class Library
{
[DataMember(Name="books")] public IList<Book> Books { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name="src")] public string Src { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name="id")] public string Id { get; set; }
}
I'm sure there are plenty of other options you can tweak, but that should at least get you started.
A generic approach:
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace YourApp.Helpers
{
public class SystemSerializer:ISerializer
{
public T Deserialize<T>(string json) where T : class
{
DataContractJsonSerializer ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));
using (var ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json)))
{
return ser.ReadObject(ms) as T;
}
}
public T Deserialize<T>(Stream json) where T : class
{
DataContractJsonSerializer ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));
return ser.ReadObject(json) as T;
}
public async Task<string> SerializeAsync<T>(T obj) where T : class
{
DataContractJsonSerializer ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));
using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
{
ser.WriteObject(ms, obj);
ms.Position = 0;
using (var sr = new StreamReader(ms))
{
return await sr.ReadToEndAsync();
}
}
}
}
}
