javascriptserializer

Apparently, IDictionary<string,object> is serialized as an array of KeyValuePair objects (e.g., [{Key:"foo", Value:"bar"}, ...] ). Is is possible to serialize it as an object instead (e.g., {foo:"bar"} )? Although I agree that JavaScriptSerializer is a crap and Json.Net is a better option, there is a way in which you can make JavaScriptSerializer serialize the way you want to. You will have to register a converter and override the Serialize method using something like this: public class KeyValuePairJsonConverter : JavaScriptConverter { public override object Deserialize(IDictionary<string,

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong of what I'm missing. I'm building an ASP.NET 2.0 (on the .Net 3.5 framework) Web application and I am including a webservice. Note that this is not an MVC project. I wish to expose a method which will return a JSON string; formatted to feed the jqGrid jQuery plugin. This is the preliminary test method I've implemented in my service: thanks to ( Phil Haack's Guide for MVC ) [WebMethod] [ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)] public string getData() { JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer(); var jsonData = new { total = 1, // we'll

the json file's structure which I will deserialize looks like below; { "id" : "1lad07", "text" : "test", "url" : "http:\/\/twitpic.com\/1lacuz", "width" : 220, "height" : 84, "size" : 8722, "type" : "png", "timestamp" : "Wed, 05 May 2010 16:11:48 +0000", "user" : { "id" : 12345, "screen_name" : "twitpicuser" } } I have created a class which has the filed names as properties for JavaScriptSerializer. The code which I will use to Deserialize the json is as follows; using (var reader = new StreamReader(twitpicResponse.GetResponseStream())) { var responseBody = reader.ReadToEnd(); var deserializer

I'm using JavaScriptSerializer to serialize some entity objects. The problem is, many of the public properties contain null or default values. Is there any way to make JavaScriptSerializer exclude properties with null or default values? I would like the resulting JSON to be less verbose. Mitch FYI, if you'd like to go with the easier solution, here's what I used to accomplish this using a JavaScriptConverter implementation with the JavaScriptSerializer: private class NullPropertiesConverter : JavaScriptConverter { public override object Deserialize(IDictionary<string, object> dictionary, Type

I'm looking for an example code/lib to decode a JSON string using C#. To encode I can do this: var data = new Dictionary<string,string>(); data.Add("..", "..."); var json_encoded = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(data); but how do I decode? var json_decoded = ?? You can do this: var data = new Dictionary<string, string>(); data.Add("foo", "baa"); JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer(); var JSONString = ser.Serialize(data); //JSON encoded var JSONObj = ser.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, string>>(JSONString); //JSON decoded Console.Write(JSONObj["foo"]); //prints: baa This

My service method: [WebMethod] [ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)] public string getDataFromTrainingMaster() { List<TrainingMasterDataStruct> results = new DAL().GetDataFromTrainingMaster(); JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer(); return js.Serialize(results).ToString(); } My .net web service returns JSON wrapped in XML as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"> [{"Training_Code":"1234 ","Training_Duration":"2hrs ","Training_Startdate":"2/14/2013 3:00:00 PM","Training_Enddate":"2/14/2013 5:00:00 PM","Trainer_ID":1,
