C#JSON serialization
- by Bridget the Midget
I'm trying out the HighStock library for creating stock charts. To fill the chart with data, their example specifies this source. The first parameter is unixtime in milliseconds and the second parameter is the stock closing price. I don't know if this is valid json, but I would argue that the following would be a more appropriate way of writing json.
[{"Closing":63.15000,"Date":1262559600000},{"Closing":64.75000,"Date":1262646000000}, ...
I guess that I have no other option than to adapt to HighStocks syntax. I could solve this by looping and add correct syntax to a string, but that seems rudimentary. Would it be more wise to serialize C# objects to create my json, and if that's the case - how can I reach the syntax specified in the example?
Lets just say this is my c# object:
public class Quote {
public double Date { get; set; }
public decimal Closing { get; set; }
}
Am I making it unnecessary complex? Should I just format a json string?
