We've got some JSON that we are deserializing into a strongly-typed object graph in C#. However, we've got one issue: sometimes there is an "empty" value in the JSON (e.g., empty string) in a property that maps to a boolean value in our model. In our case, we know that 100% of the time, we can translate these "blank" values to Boolean false . However, the JSON deserializers I've tried don't know about this (understandably). I've been trying to find a way to intercept the deserialization of each property, and optionally override the output. I.e., if there was an "interceptor" method I could

I want to parse JSON in PowerShell but I can't use the new v3 functions that are available in PowerShell. My first thought was to load the JSON.Net assembly and use that to parse the JSON string but it doesn't work as I expect it to. I have this JSON: $json = "{""Name"": ""Apple"", ""Price"": 3.99, ""Sizes"": [ ""Small"", ""Medium"", ""Large""]}" I load the JSON.NET assembly with this code: [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("$currentPath\Newtonsoft.Json.dll”) And tries to parse it with $result = [Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert]::DeserializeObject($json) Now I expect that $result["Name"] is Apple

I am trying to make a json object like this with JObject: { "input": { "webpage/url": "http://google.com/" } } I can add properties like: JObject job = new JObject( new JProperty("website/url", "http://www.google.com") ); But any time I try to nest an object inside another object so I can have the parent "input" it throws an exception. How do you make nested properties with JObject? Probably the most straightforward way would be: var input = new JObject(); input.Add("webpage/url", "http://google.com"); var obj = new JObject(); obj.Add("input", input); Which gives you: { "input": { "webpage/url

I have a piece of XML that looks like <person xmlns:json='http://james.newtonking.com/projects/json' id='1'> <name>Alan</name> <url>http://www.google.com</url> <role json:Array='true'>Admin</role> </person> When I try to serialize it to json string json = JsonConvert.SerializeXmlNode(xml); it ignores namespaces { "person": { "@id": "1", "name": "Alan", "url": "http://www.google.com", "role": [ "Admin" ] } } and when I deserialize it back to xml XmlDocument xml = JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(json) , I get the following: <person id='1'> <name>Alan</name> <url>http://www.google.com</url> <role

In the following scenario, how do I get CrazyItemConverter to carry on as usual when it encounters a JSON property that exists in the type I'm deserializing to? I have some JSON that looks like this: { "Item":{ "Name":"Apple", "Id":null, "Size":5, "Quality":2 } } The JSON gets deserialized into a class that looks a whole lot like this: [JsonConverter(typeof(CrazyItemConverter))] public class Item { [JsonConverter(typeof(CrazyStringConverter))] public string Name { get; set; } public Guid? Id { get; set; } [JsonIgnore] public Dictionary<string, object> CustomFields { get { if (_customFields ==
