New Post: Custom JavaScriptDateTimeConverter

bjtomli — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:33:04 GMT

I'd like to create a custom JavaScriptDateTimeConverter (maybe called JavaScriptUTCDateTimeConverter) to output the format of DateTime.UTC(2012, 4, 23). I downloaded and looked at the source of the JavaScriptDateTimeConverter that ships with JSON.Net but it wasn't real obvious to me on how to create my own version of this to output a different format. Can someone help guide me on this? Or is there a easier way to output a different format for my DateTIme's than having to create another converter?

New Post: removeing comments from json

_JMan_ — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 09:23:27 GMT

Thanks for your reply, i acutually ended up doing this:

 var o = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(sb2.ToString()) as JObject;
                    var e = o.GetEnumerator();
                    while (e.MoveNext())
                    {
                        if(e.Current.Value is JArray)
                        {
                            var ja = e.Current.Value as JArray;
                            for(int j=0;j< ja.Count;j++)
                            {
                                var c = ja[j];
                                if(c.Type == JTokenType.Comment)
                                {
                                    c.Remove();
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
var s = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(o, Formatting.None);

Json.NET

Json.NET is a popular high-performance JSON framework for .NET

Features

Flexible JSON serializer for converting between .NET objects and JSON
LINQ to JSON for manually reading and writing JSON
High performance, faster than .NET's built-in JSON serializers
Write indented, easy to read JSON
Convert JSON to and from XML
Supports .NET 2, .NET 3.5, .NET 4, Silverlight and Windows Phone

The serializer is a good choice when the JSON you are reading or writing maps closely to a .NET class.

LINQ to JSON is good for situations where you are only interested in getting values from JSON, you don't have a class to serialize or deserialize to, or the JSON is radically different from your class and you need to manually read and write from your objects.

Download Json.NET from CodePlex or install using NuGet

New Post: removeing comments from json

thewaterengine — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 02:10:46 GMT

I'm using regex to remove single line comments after storing the raw json record into a string variable called fileDataWithSingleLineComments and before parsing with json:

// remove single line comments before parsing
fileDataWithoutSingleLineComments = Regex.Replace(fileDataWithSingleLineComments, @"(^[//]{2}[^\n]*)|([\n]{1,}[\/]{2}[^\n]*)", " ");

JObject.Parse(fileDataWithoutSingleLineComments);

//parse into Linq
jsonRecordWithoutSingleLineComments = Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.

Created Issue: Deserializing int[] doesn't fire the Error event correctly [22260]

youssefm — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:33:48 GMT

This may be related to the other item I opened, but I'd expect this code:

string json = "[\"a\",\"b\",\"45\",34]";

List<string> errors = new List<string>();

JsonSerializer serializer = new JsonSerializer();
serializer.Error += delegate(object sender, Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.ErrorEventArgs args)
{
errors.Add(args.ErrorContext.Error.Message);
args.ErrorContext.Handled = true;
};

serializer.Deserialize(new JsonTextReader(new StringReader(json)), typeof(int[]));
Console.WriteLine(errors.Count);

to print 2 when you try to deserialize into an int[]. Instead it throws. This used to work in 4.0.5 and doesn't in 4.0.8.

Json.NET

Json.NET is a popular high-performance JSON framework for .NET

Features

Flexible JSON serializer for converting between .NET objects and JSON
LINQ to JSON for manually reading and writing JSON
High performance, faster than .NET's built-in JSON serializers
Write indented, easy to read JSON
Convert JSON to and from XML
Supports .NET 2, .NET 3.5, .NET 4, Silverlight and Windows Phone

The serializer is a good choice when the JSON you are reading or writing maps closely to a .NET class.

Download Json.NET from CodePlex or install using NuGet
