I started to use Json.NET to convert a string in JSON format to object or viceversa. I am not sure in the Json.NET framework, is it possible to convert a string in JSON to X
Here is the full c# code to convert xml to json
public static class JSon
{
public static string XmlToJSON(string xml)
{
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(xml);
return XmlToJSON(doc);
}
public static string XmlToJSON(XmlDocument xmlDoc)
{
StringBuilder sbJSON = new StringBuilder();
sbJSON.Append("{ ");
XmlToJSONnode(sbJSON, xmlDoc.DocumentElement, true);
sbJSON.Append("}");
return sbJSON.ToString();
}
// XmlToJSONnode: Output an XmlElement, possibly as part of a higher array
private static void XmlToJSONnode(StringBuilder sbJSON, XmlElement node, bool showNodeName)
{
if (showNodeName)
sbJSON.Append("\"" + SafeJSON(node.Name) + "\": ");
sbJSON.Append("{");
// Build a sorted list of key-value pairs
// where key is case-sensitive nodeName
// value is an ArrayList of string or XmlElement
// so that we know whether the nodeName is an array or not.
SortedList childNodeNames = new SortedList();
// Add in all node attributes
if (node.Attributes != null)
foreach (XmlAttribute attr in node.Attributes)
StoreChildNode(childNodeNames, attr.Name, attr.InnerText);
// Add in all nodes
foreach (XmlNode cnode in node.ChildNodes)
{
if (cnode is XmlText)
StoreChildNode(childNodeNames, "value", cnode.InnerText);
else if (cnode is XmlElement)
StoreChildNode(childNodeNames, cnode.Name, cnode);
}
// Now output all stored info
foreach (string childname in childNodeNames.Keys)
{

To convert a given XML string to JSON, simply call XmlToJSON() function as below.
string xml = "";
string json = JSON.XmlToJSON(xml);
// json = { "menu": {"id": "file", "popup": { "menuitem": [ {"onclick": "CreateNewDoc()", "value": "New" }, {"onclick": "OpenDoc()", "value": "Open" }, {"onclick": "CloseDoc()", "value": "Close" } ] }, "value": "File" }}
