Serialize .Net object to json, controlled using xml attributes
- by sprocketonline
I have a .Net object which I've been serializing to Xml and is decorated with Xml attributes. I would now like to serialize the same object to Json, preferably using the Newtonsoft Json.Net library.
I'd like to go directly from the .Net object in memory to a Json string (without serializing to Xml first). I do not wish to add any Json attributes to the class, but instead would like for the Json serializer use the existing Xml attributes.
[XmlRoot("hello")]
public class world{
[XmlIgnore]
public int ignoreMe{ get; }
[XmlElement("foo")]
public int bar{ get; }
[XmlElement("marco")]
public int polo{ get; }
}
becomes
"hello":{
"foo":0,
"marco":0
}
