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

I know this is an old thread but I discovered a easy deserialization while using the power of MongoDB.Driver

You can use BsonDocument.parse(JSONString) to deserialize a JSON object so to deserialize a string array use this:

string Jsonarray = "[\"value1\", \"value2\", \"value3\"]";
BsonArray deserializedArray = BsonDocument.parse("{\"arr\":" + Jsonarray + "}")["arr"].asBsonArray;

deserializedArray can then be used as any array such as a foreach loop.
