问题
I am creating a .Net app in Visual Studio 2012 that queries an address table in my SQL dB and uses the Census Geocoding API to return the specific MSA for each address. I have existing code for the dB query, but I am having trouble with converting the Json output of the Census API to an Xml dataset. I am using Json.net to serialize the json output and then deserialize to .net in order to load into an XmlDocument. Unfortunately, I keep getting an XmlException error:
Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1
Details:
System.Xml.XmlException was unhandled HResult=-2146232000
Message=Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.
Source=System.Xml LineNumber=1 LinePosition=1 SourceUri=""

I believe either the Json or the Xml need to be formatted further, but I don't know how. Also, I'm sure I am making this too difficult on myself...if there is a better way, I am all ears.
Here is the sample geolookup I am using to test:

回答1:
First of all, you are passing a JSON string to geoXMLDoc.LoadXml(). That's not going to work. What you want to do is to convert the JSON to an XmlDocument via JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode.
However, some of your JSON properties contain characters that are invalid for use in XML names, in specific whitespace:
{"Census Blocks":[{"BLKGRP":"1",
It seems that this causes DeserializeXmlNode to throw an exception. Thus you'll need to rename the names:
var obj = JObject.Parse(geoString);
foreach (var fix in (from property in obj.Descendants().OfType<JProperty>()
let newName = XmlConvert.EncodeLocalName(property.Name.Replace(" ", ""))
where newName != property.Name
select new { Old = property, New = new JProperty(newName, property.Value) })
.ToList())
{
fix.Old.Replace(fix.New);
}
var xmldoc = JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(obj.ToString());

Need you to post what you are attempting to load into the XmlDocument. That is where you are hitting your problem. If you are trying to load the JSON you get from the web call it won't work, if you are (as I suspect) using JSON.Net to convert the JSON to Xml, the Xml is missing something that the XmlDocument wants. Could be the Xml declaration line, or your xml fragment may not include a root node. Without seeing the xml we have no way to tell specifically what is missing or malformed.
