Help me please. I have problem with encoding response string after GET request:
var m_refWebClient = new WebClient();
var m_refStream = m_refWebClient.OpenRead(this.m_refUri);
var m_refStreamReader = new StreamReader(this.m_refStream, Encoding.UTF8);
var m_refResponse = m_refStreamReader.ReadToEnd();
After calling this code my string m_refResponse is json source with substrings like \u041c\u043e\u0439
. What is it? How to encode it for Cyrillic? I am very tired after a lot of attempts.
corrected
Am I missing something here?
What is it?
"\u041c\u043e\u0439"
is the String literal representation of Мой
. You don't have to do anything more, Strings are Unicode, you've got your Cyrillic already.
(Unless you mean you literally have the sequence \u041c\u043e\u0439
, ie. the value "\\u041c\\u043e\\u0439"
. That wouldn't be the result of an encoding error, that would be something happening at the server, for example it returning a JSON string, since JSON and C# use the same \u
escapes. If that's what's happening use a JSON parser.)
I'm not 100% on this, but I would assume you'd have to pass Encoding.Unicode to StreamReader.
