How to convert JSON to XML or XML to JSON?

Question

I started to use Json.NET to convert a string in JSON format to object or viceversa. I am not sure in the Json.NET framework, is it possible to convert a string in JSON to XML format and viceversa?

Answer 1

Yes. Using the JsonConvert class which contains helper methods for this precise purpose:

// To convert an XML node contained in string xml into a JSON string    XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.LoadXml(xml); string jsonText = JsonConvert.SerializeXmlNode(doc);  // To convert JSON text contained in string json into an XML node XmlDocument doc = JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(json);
