I have a configuration file in the following JSON format:
{
"key1": "value1",
"key2": "value2",
"key3": false,
"key4": 10,
}
The user can set/unset the configuration values using a text editor. I however need to read it in my C# application. Whats the best way to do so for JSON? The above keys are not associated with a class.
Take a look at Json.NET: http://json.codeplex.com
Would this work for you?
System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer js = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();
string json = @"{
'key1': 'value1',
'key2': 'value2',
'key3': false,
'key4': 10
}";
Dictionary<string, string> dic = js.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, string>>(json); // deserialize
foreach (KeyValuePair<string,string> o in dic)
{
// do whatever
}
dic.Add("newKey", "new value"); // add an attribute
string newjson = js.Serialize(dic); // serialize back to string
Alternatively, you can have a look at the JSONReaderWriterFactory from the .Net 3.5SP1 stack.
