I have migrated my web service to .NET Core 2.0, it works fine but I have problem with getting response as json string.
Method on api:
[HttpGet]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(string), 200)]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(EntityNotFoundErrorResult), 404)]
public async Task<IActionResult> GetCurrenciesAsync()
{
var result = await service.GetByTypeAsync(ObjectType.Currency.ToString());
return Ok(result);
}
that is returning proper json as result
:
"{\"elements\": [{\"Id\": \"1\", \"Symbol\": \"PLN\"},{\"Id\": \"2\", \"Symbol\": \"SIT\"}]}"
Then on client I'm using service stack to get my currencies as string:
public virtual IEnumerable<CurrencyData> GetCurrencies()
{
string response = null;
try
{
response = api.Get<string>("/Currencies");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
}
return string.IsNullOrEmpty(response) ? null : JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TempCurrencyClass>(response).elements;
}
And the response
looks like this:
"\"{\\\"elements\\\": [{\\\"Id\\\": \\\"1\\\", \\\"Symbol\\\": \\\"PLN\\\"},{\\\"Id\\\": \\\"2\\\", \\\"Symbol\\\": \\\"SIT\\\"}]}\""
So JsonConvert.DeserializeObject
throws deserialization exception:
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException
But it works when I'm deserializing response to sting and to objest then:
var x = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<string>(response);
var deserialized = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TempCurrencyClass>(x).elements;
I'm guessing that the problem is on client right? Well strange thing is that it works just fine on .NET Core 1.1
What I'm missing?
