Get Raw json string in Newtonsoft.Json Library

Question

I have json like this

{
    \"name\": \"somenameofevent\",
    \"type\": \"event\",
    \"data\": {
        \"object\": {
            \"age\": \"18\",
               


        

Answer 1

If you are worried about the overhead because the object is deserialized to a JObject a and then serialized again (solution offered by @fero ) then you can try the following.

Approach 1: Create your own custom JsonConverter and override ReadJson

using(var jsonReader = new JsonTextReader(myTextReader))
{
  while(jsonReader.Read()){
    if(jsonReader.TokenType.PropertyName=="SomeDesct")
    {
      //do what you want
    } 
  }
}

Approach 2: Read the json string and apply string functions or regex function to get the desired string.
