Convert JSON String To C# Object

Question

Trying to convert a JSON string into an object in C#. Using a really simple test case:

JavaScriptSerializer json_serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
obj         


        

Answer 1

It looks like you're trying to deserialize to a raw object. You could create a Class that represents the object that you're converting to. This would be most useful in cases where you're dealing with larger objects or JSON Strings.

For instance:

  class Test {

      String test; 

      String getTest() { return test; }
      void setTest(String test) { this.test = test; }

  }

Then your deserialization code would be:

   JavaScriptSerializer json_serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
   Test routes_list = 
          (Test)json_serializer.DeserializeObject("{ \"test\":\"some data\" }");
