Validating result of JsonConvert.DeserializeObject (think "try parse") using JSON.Net
- by Riri
I have incoming messages that I need to try and parse in my own objects structure. SOme of these are well formed JSON obejcts and some are just nonsense.
I use JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyObject>(incmoingString); to do this. This however sometimes gives me a exception when the incoming is total garbage. Other times I get a non-complete object structure when the incoming string is kind of OK - and finally it sometimes work.
I've wrapped the conversion in a try/catch and than manually validate that I've gotten the properties I need to the deserialized result.
Is there a better way to do this?
