How To Convert JSON String That Contains Encoded Unicode

Question

Could anyone tell me how to convert the following json object string, which contains encoded unicode characters (Chinese in this case) to human readable one using c# in asp.net?

records:[{"description":"\u849c\u8089","id":282}]

The string is submitted via Ajax from an Ext JS web application.

Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

There is no need to convert this string in any special manner. Any JSON decoder that more or less sticks to the specification will automatically create a correct string for the description attribute.

Update:

However, your current sample is not valid JSON. It's missing brackets or braces around the complete sample and it's missing double qutoes around records.

A correct JSON snippet would be:

{"records":[{"description":"\u849c\u8089","id":282}]}

Giving:

• records:
  • []
    • description: 蒜肉
    • id: 282
