I am converting my newtonsoft implementation to new JSON library in .net core 3.0. I have the following code
public static bool IsValidJson(string json)
{
try
{
JObject.Parse(json);
return true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Logger.ErrorFormat("Invalid Json Received {0}", json);
Logger.Fatal(ex.Message);
return false;
}
}
I am not able to find any equivalent for JObject.Parse(json);
Also what will be the attribute JsonProperty
equivalent
public class ResponseJson
{
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "status")]
public bool Status { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "message")]
public string Message { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Log_id")]
public string LogId { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Log_status")]
public string LogStatus { get; set; }
public string FailureReason { get; set; }
}
One more thing i will be looking for the equivalent of Formating.None
.
You are asking a few questions here:
I am not able to find any equivalent for JObject.Parse(json);
You can use JsonDocument
to parse and examine any JSON. But do take note of this documentation remark:
This class utilizes resources from pooled memory to minimize the impact of the garbage collector (GC) in high-usage scenarios. Failure to properly dispose this object will result in the memory not being returned to the pool, which will increase GC impact across various parts of the framework.
When you need to use a JsonElement
outside the lifetime of its document, you must clone it:
Gets a JsonElement
that can be safely stored beyond the lifetime of the original JsonDocument
.
Also note that JsonDocument
is currently read-only and does not provide an API for creating or modifying JSON. There is an open issue Issue #39922: Writable Json DOM tracking this.
An example of use is as follows:
//https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/whats-new/csharp-8#using-declarations
using var doc = JsonDocument.Parse(json);
var names = doc.RootElement.EnumerateObject().Select(p => p.Name);
Console.WriteLine("Property names: {0}", string.Join(",", names)); // Property names: status,message,Log_id,Log_status,FailureReason
using var ms = new MemoryStream();
using (var writer = new Utf8JsonWriter(ms, new JsonWriterOptions { Indented = true }))
{
doc.WriteTo(writer);
}
var json2 = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ms.ToArray());
Console.WriteLine(json2);
Also what will be the attribute JsonProperty
equivalent?
Attributes that can control JsonSerializer
are placed in the System.Text.Json.Serialization
namespace. Unlike JsonProperty
, there is no omnibus attribute that can control all aspects of property serialization. Instead there are specific attributes to control specific aspects.
As of .NET Core 3 these include:
[JsonPropertyNameAttribute(string)]
:
Specifies the property name that is present in the JSON when serializing and deserializing. This overrides any naming policy specified by JsonNamingPolicy
.
This is attribute you want to use to control the serialized names of your ResponseJson
class:
public class ResponseJson
{
[JsonPropertyName("status")]
public bool Status { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("message")]
public string Message { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("Log_id")]
public string LogId { get; set; }
[JsonPropertyName("Log_status")]
public string LogStatus { get; set; }
public string FailureReason { get; set; }
}
[JsonConverterAttribute(Type)]
:
When placed on a type, the specified converter will be used unless a compatible converter is added to the JsonSerializerOptions.Converters
collection or there is another JsonConverterAttribute
on a property of the same type.
Note that the documented priority of converters -- settings before attributes -- is opposite from the documented order for Newtonsoft converters, which is the JsonConverter defined by attribute on a member, then the JsonConverter defined by an attribute on a class, and finally any converters passed to the JsonSerializer.
[JsonExtensionDataAttribute]
- corresponds to Newtonsoft's [JsonExtensionData]
.
[JsonIgnoreAttribute]
- corresponds to Newtonsoft's [JsonIgnore]
.
When writing JSON via Utf8JsonWriter
, indentation can be controlled by setting JsonWriterOptions.Indented
to true
or false
.
When serializing to JSON via JsonSerializer.Serialize
, indentation can be controlled by setting JsonSerializerOptions.WriteIndented
to true
or false
.
Demo fiddle here showing serialization with JsonSerializer
and parsing with JsonDocument
.
This link should get you going, snippets of which I copied below.
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/try-the-new-system-text-json-apis/
WeatherForecast Deserialize(string json)
{
var options = new JsonSerializerOptions
{
AllowTrailingCommas = true
};
return JsonSerializer.Parse<WeatherForecast>(json, options);
}
class WeatherForecast {
public DateTimeOffset Date { get; set; }
// Always in Celsius.
[JsonPropertyName("temp")]
public int TemperatureC { get; set; }
public string Summary { get; set; }
// Don't serialize this property.
[JsonIgnore]
public bool IsHot => TemperatureC >= 30;
}
