Introduction:
Here we will learn how to use newtonsoft JSON to serialize and deserialize in asp.net
using c#, vb.net
with example or Use newtonsoft.json for JSON
serialization and deserialization in asp.net
using c#, vb.net
with example or serializing / deserializing JSON
data in asp.net using c#,
vb.net
with example. By using newtonsoft.json reference in our asp.net
applications we can easily serialize and deserialize data based on our
requirements.
Description:
In previous articles I explained Jsontextwriter example in c#, vb.net, jQuery convert JSON data to HTML table example, jQuery ajax json example in asp.net, convert data table to json string with example, convert string xml to datatable in c#, vb.net, convert json string to json object with example and many
more articles related to in JSON,
asp.net,
mvc, c#,
vb.net.
Now I will explain how to use newtonsoft json to serialize and deserialize JSON
data in asp.net using c#,
vb.net
with example.
By using newtonsoft json we can easily serialize and
deserialize data based on our requirements. Following are the methods to
serialize and deserialize data in asp.net
JSON
Serialization Method
Following is the serialize method to serialize list
items into JSON string format.
C#
Code
List<userdetails>
details = new List<userdetails>();
userdetails
user = new userdetails();
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 1, username = "suresh",
location = "chennai" });
string strserialize = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(details);
|
VB.NET
Code
Dim details As New List(Of userdetails)()
Dim user As New userdetails()
details.Add(New userdetails() With {
.userid = 1,
.username = "suresh",
.location = "chennai"
})
Dim strserialize As String = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(details)
|
JSON
DeSerialization Method
Following is the serialize method to serialize list
items into JSON string format.
C#
Code
string strmsg = "[{\"userid\":1,\"username\":\"suresh\",\"location\":\"chennai\"},{\"userid\":2,\"username\":\"rohini\",\"location\":\"guntur\"}]";
var user = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<userdetails>>(strmsg);
|
VB.NET
Code
Dim strmsg As String = "[{""userid"":1,""username"":""suresh"",""location"":""chennai""},{""userid"":2,""username"":""rohini"",""location"":""guntur""}]"
Dim user = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of List(Of userdetails))(strmsg)
|
If you want complete example to implement serialization
and deserialization for JSON data create new web application and open your Default.aspx page and write the code
like as shown below.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>JSON
Serialization and Deserialization in Asp.Net</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1"
runat="server">
<asp:Button ID="btnSerialize"
runat="server"
Text="Serialize"
OnClick="btnSerialize_Click" />
<asp:Button ID="btnDeserialize"
runat="server"
Text="DeSerialize"
OnClick="btnDeserialize_Click" />
<div>
Serialized Data: <asp:Label ID="lblserial" runat="server"/>
</div>
<div>
DeSerialized Data: <asp:Label ID="lbldeserial" runat="server"/>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Now open code behind file and write the code like as
shown below
C#
Code
using System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using
Newtonsoft.Json;
public partial class _Default
: System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected
void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected
void btnSerialize_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
List<userdetails>
details = new List<userdetails>();
userdetails
user = new userdetails();
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 1, username = "suresh",
location = "chennai" });
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 2, username = "rohini",
location = "guntur" });
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 3, username = "praveen", location = "bangalore" });
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 4, username = "sateesh", location = "vizag" });
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 5, username = "madhav",
location = "nagpur" });
details.Add(new userdetails { userid = 6, username = "honey",
location = "nagpur" });
string
strserialize = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(details);
lblserial.Text = strserialize;
}
protected
void btnDeserialize_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string strmsg = "[{\"userid\":1,\"username\":\"suresh\",\"location\":\"chennai\"},{\"userid\":2,\"username\":\"rohini\",\"location\":\"guntur\"}]";
var user = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<userdetails>>(strmsg);
}
}
class userdetails
{
public int userid { get; set; }
public string username {
get; set; }
public string location {
get; set; }
}

VB.NET Code

End Sub
End Class

Public Property userid() As Integer

If you observe above code we added namespace “Newtonsoft.JSON” this we can get by
adding reference using Manage Nuget
Packages. To add reference right click on your application Ã
select Manage Nuget Packages Ã
Go to Browse Tab Ã
Search for Newtonsoft Ã
From the list select Newtonsoft.Json
and install it. Once we install the component that will show like as shown following.
Demo
Now run the application to see the result that will be
like as shown below.
Following is the result of Serializing Data
Following is the result of DeSerializing the JSON Data
