✅ [RESOLVED] Newtonsoft :: wrong serialization format

Dear all, I'm requesting your help, because I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

 string operations = "{\"inumoper\": \"44444\", \"itdoper\": \"ORD1\"}";

Dictionary<string, string> objParams = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
    {"accion", "LOAD" },
    {"operaciones", operations},
};

string[] arrParams = new string[4];
arrParams[0] = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(objParams, Formatting.None);
arrParams[1] = "123456789";
arrParams[2] = "1001";
arrParams[3] = "0";

Dictionary<string, Array> objSend = new Dictionary<string, Array>
{
    {"_parameters", arrParams }
};

 string operations = "{\"inumoper\": \"44444\", \"itdoper\": \"ORD1\"}";

Dictionary<string, string> objParams = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
    {"accion", "LOAD" },
    {"operaciones", operations},
};

string[] arrParams = new string[4];
arrParams[0] = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(objParams, Formatting.None);
arrParams[1] = "123456789";
arrParams[2] = "1001";
arrParams[3] = "0";

Dictionary<string, Array> objSend = new Dictionary<string, Array>
{
    {"_parameters", arrParams }
};

` I need this data with this format:

"{\"_parameters\":[{\"accion\":\"LOAD\",\"operaciones\":[{\"inumoper\":\"44444\",\"itdoper\":\"ORD1\"}]},\"123456789\",\"1001\",\"0\"]}"

"{\"_parameters\":[{\"accion\":\"LOAD\",\"operaciones\":[{\"inumoper\":\"44444\",\"itdoper\":\"ORD1\"}]},\"123456789\",\"1001\",\"0\"]}"

But I'm getting it like this:

"{\"_parameters\":["{\"accion\":\"LOAD\",\"operaciones\":\"{\\\"inumoper\\\": \\\"44444\\\", \\\"itdoper\\\": \\\"ORD1\\\"}\"}"]},\"123456789\",\"1001\",\"0\"]}"

"{\"_parameters\":["{\"accion\":\"LOAD\",\"operaciones\":\"{\\\"inumoper\\\": \\\"44444\\\", \\\"itdoper\\\": \\\"ORD1\\\"}\"}"]},\"123456789\",\"1001\",\"0\"]}"

` As you see, in the "operaciones" array, I'm receiving an escape for a backslash and I don't need it. Do you know how can I solve it? Thanks in advance, Migue

Just use a proper class operations is a string, so the serializer will treat it as such Make it an array, and it'll be treated as an array

@Angius sorry this question, but I need to do it: if I'm not wrong the Array doesn't allow me to use custom Key (index), but I need to have the array like this: ["inumoper" = "4444"]

Use an object

class Root
{
    public Params _parameters { get; set; }
}
class Params
{
    public string accion { get; set; }
    public string[] operations { get; set; }
}

class Root
{
    public Params _parameters { get; set; }
}
class Params
{
    public string accion { get; set; }
    public string[] operations { get; set; }
}

var data = new Root {
    _parameters = new Params {
        accion = "Load",
        operations = new[]{"inumoper", "444444", "itdoper"}
    }
}

var data = new Root {
    _parameters = new Params {
        accion = "Load",
        operations = new[]{"inumoper", "444444", "itdoper"}
    }
}

Or whatever other structure you need Could even use $jsongen

And generate the classes from your desired JSON

Thank you so much. I will try. @Angius and @MODiX With the clarification about the object, I used this process: Instead of creating an string array, I created the JObject array, so, in the serialization step, it took it as an Object.

string operations = "{\"inumoper\": \"" + (this.orderNumber) + "\", \"itdoper\": \"ORD1\"}";
JObject[] operationsArray = new JObject[1];
operationsArray[0] = JObject.Parse(operations);

string operations = "{\"inumoper\": \"" + (this.orderNumber) + "\", \"itdoper\": \"ORD1\"}";
JObject[] operationsArray = new JObject[1];
operationsArray[0] = JObject.Parse(operations);

It worked as I expected.

Angius•2y ago

Why do you still insist on not using type-safe ways of creating JSON? Still a ton of strings instead of using classes Oh well, whatever works for you ig

jgomezalOP•2y ago

To be honest, because I'm learning, and sometimes creating a lot of classes breaks my mind. But I will try to do it that way. I need to practice that part to use classes for getting the objects as you recommend me.
