I'm using JSON.NET as my main serializer.
This is my model, look that I've setted some JSONProperties
and a DefaultValue
.
public class AssignmentContentItem
{
[JsonProperty("Id")]
public string Id { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("Qty")]
[DefaultValue(1)]
public int Quantity { get; set; }
}
When I serialize a List<AssignmentContentItem>
, it doing a good work:
private static JsonSerializerSettings s = new JsonSerializerSettings
{
DefaultValueHandling = DefaultValueHandling.Ignore,
NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore
};
OUTPUT:
[{"Id":"Q0"},{"Id":"Q4"},{"Id":"Q7"}]
But when I'd like to deserialize this jsonContent, the property Qty is always 0 and is not set to the default value. I mean, when I deserialize that jsonContent, as DefaultValue for Quantity should be one instead of 0.
public static List<AssignmentContentItem> DeserializeAssignmentContent(string jsonContent)
{
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<AssignmentContentItem>>(jsonContent, s);
}
What should I do
In Deserialization, it does the opposite of Serialization which means it converts JSON string to custom . Net object. In the following code, it creates a JavaScriptSerializer instance and calls Deserialize() by passing JSON data. It returns a custom object (BlogSites) from JSON data.
The expected latency when downloading anything from a server to a client should increase as the size of the file increases.
JSON is a format that encodes objects in a string. Serialization means to convert an object into that string, and deserialization is its inverse operation (convert string -> object).
The DefaultValue
attribute does not set the value of the property. See this question: .NET DefaultValue attribute
What you might be better off doing is setting the value in the constructor:
public class AssignmentContentItem
{
[JsonProperty("Id")]
public string Id { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("Qty")]
public int Quantity { get; set; }
public AssignmentContentItem()
{
this.Quantity = 1;
}
}
Where this line:
AssignmentContentItem item =
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AssignmentContentItem>("{\"Id\":\"Q0\"}");
Results in an AssignmentContentItem
with its Quantity
set to 1
.
You can use the the DefaultValueHandling.Populate setting so that Json.Net will populate the created object with the default value.
public static List<AssignmentContentItem> DeserializeAssignmentContent(string jsonContent)
{
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<AssignmentContentItem>>(jsonContent, new JsonSerializerSettings
{
DefaultValueHandling = DefaultValueHandling.Populate,
NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore
});
}
