Bson array (de)serialization with Json.NET

Question

I am simply trying to serialize and deserialize a string array in Bson format using Json.NET, but the following code fails:

var jsonSerializer = new JsonSeria         


        

Answer 1

Set ReadRootValueAsArray to true on BsonReader

http://james.newtonking.com/projects/json/help/index.html?topic=html/P_Newtonsoft_Json_Bson_BsonReader_ReadRootValueAsArray.htm

This setting is required because the BSON data spec doesn't save metadata about whether the root value is an object or an array.
