How would I pass an array into JsonConvert.SerializeObject? I have the following working JSON but am unable to get it into the serialize function because it needs an array.
"recipients": [
{
"address": "[email protected]"
},
{
"address": "[email protected]"
},
{
"address": "[email protected]"
}
]
I'm new to c# and any help would be great, thanks!
C# body:
recipients = new Array {
}
Great way to create c# classes from JSON is http://json2csharp.com/. When I wrapped your JSON into curly braces as @dbc suggested and pasted there following code was generated:
public class Recipient
{
public string address { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public List<Recipient> recipients { get; set; }
}
Now you can deserialize it like this:
RootObject myObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(myJSON);
In order to build a valid Json object, Please refer to http://json.org/
For below model,
public class Model
{
public string[] recipients { get; set; }
}
with below JsonDocument,
string jsondoc = "{\"recipients\": [\"[email protected]\",\"[email protected]\",\"[email protected]\"]}"
Below piece of code shoule be able to deserialize your json document
Model obj = new Model();
using (var ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(jsondoc)))
{
DataContractJsonSerializer deserializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(Model));
obj = (Model)deserializer.ReadObject(ms);
}
{and}. Is that a typo in the question?
