Using an array in Azure web app settings

Question

In my ASP.NET 5 (RC1) code I have an appsetting.json that looks something like this:

{
    \"SomeSettings\": {
        \"PropA\": \"ValueA\",
        \"PropB         


        

Answer 1

Simple approach is store the JSON as string in AppSetting, and de-serialize by yourself

var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var settings = serializer.Deserialize(configuration.GetSection("SomeSettings"));

or you will have to create your own customer configuration i believe. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2tw134k3.aspx
